Digital Map Information

Geographicus maintains an archive of high-resolution rare map scans. We scan our maps at 300 DPI or higher, with newer images being 600 DPI, (either TIFF or JPEG, depending on when the scan was done) which is most cases in suitable for enlargement and printing.

Delivery

Once you purchase our digital scan service, you will receive a download link via email - usually within seconds. Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack. Some of our files are very large, and can take some time to download. Most files are saved into your computer's 'Downloads' folder. All delivery is electronic. No physical product is shipped.

Credit and Scope of Use

You can use your digial image any way you want! Our digital images are unrestricted by copyright and can be used, modified, and published freely. The textual description that accompanies the original antique map is not included in the sale of digital images and remains protected by copyright.

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

Benoni Bissell Barber (1798 - February 27, 1885) was a Hartford, Connecticut, based printer, bookseller, and publisher active in the first half of the 19th century. From 1822 to 1833, he partnered with David Franklin Robinson, as 'Barber and Robinson' to operate a small bookshop and bindery in Hartford. In 1833, he joined forces with Asaph Willard (1786 - 1880) to publish a map of the United States. This partnership was dissolved in 1835. Barber took on a new partner, William W. Reed (c. 1785 - 18??), in 1837. He reused and revised the plates from his early 'Barber and Willard' map of the United States to issued a new map under the imprint of 'Reed and Barber'. This map was issued in many editions form 1842 to 1855. While 'Barber and Reed' was based in Connecticut, Barber himself relocated to New York City sometime before 1850, where he is identified as a 'hotel-keeper' in the census. Sometime after 1870, he returned to Connecticut settling in Cromwell, where he died in 1885. (Thanks to Ashley Bayton-Williams for help researching Barber.) More by this mapmaker...
