Digital Map Information

How Large Can I Print?
In general, at 300 DPI, you should at least be able to double the size of the actual image, more so with our 600 DPI images. So, if the original was 10 x 12 inches, you can print at 20 x 24 inches, without quality loss. If your display requirements can accommodate some loss in image quality, you can make it even larger. That being said, no quality of scan will allow you to blow up at 10 x 12 inch map to wall size without significant quality loss. For more information, it is best consult a printer or reprographics specialist.
Refunds
If the high resolution image you ordered is unavailable, we will fully refund your purchase. Otherwise, digital images scans are a service, not a tangible product, and cannot be returned or refunded once the download link is used.
Cartographer S
Charles John 'Chuck' Mazoujian (August 24, 1917 - January 14, 2011) was an American artist and cartoonist. Born in New Jersey, Mazoujian attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and graduated in 1939. After graduation he began working at the Eisner and Iger studio on comics, and, after that partnership dissolved in 1940, followed Eisner to the new studio he started. While working for Eisner, Mazoujian created the comic strip 'Lady Luck', which debuted on June 2, 1940 and ran through May 11, 1941. He enlisted in the army on January 31, 1941 and served as an illustrator, with his work appearing in both official Army manuals as well as in civilian publications like Life Magazine. After the war, Mazoujian also taught figure drawing and painting at the Pratt Institute. In the early 1960s Mazoujian took a position as an illustrator for the New York advertising firm Ogilvy and Mather. His paintings appeared in the American Watercolor Society shows and Society of Illustrator shows, and he continued to paint until his death. Mazoujian married Edna Monson of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, in 1942 and the couple had two children. More by this mapmaker...
Caleb Stillson Hammond (1862 - 1929) was the founder of C. S. Hammond & Company, a map making and printing firm based in Brooklyn, New York. Hammond started his career in mapmaking as the head of Rand McNally's offices in New York City, where he began working in 1894. Hammond split with Rand McNally, forming his own printing concern in Brooklyn, New York, in 1900. The firm was subsequently incorporated in 1901 and relocated to Manhattan, and then to Maplewood, New Jersey, near Hammond's family home. Hammond rose to become one of the largest cartographic publishers in the United States, second only to Rand McNally in volume. On his retirement, C. S. Hammond passed the firm to his son, who subsequently passed it to his own son, C. D. Hammond, who sold the company to Langenscheidt Publishers in 1999. The firm has since been folded into Universal Map, an affiliate of Kappa Publishing Group. This archives of the Hammond World Atlas Corporation, an invaluable resource, where donated to the Library of Congress in 2002. Learn More...
