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.

Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack.

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
George Daly (July 14, 1912 - December 9, 1993) was a Burlington, Vermont based commercial artist. Daly was born in New York City and grew up in New Rochelle. He must have relocated to Vermont, at least part time, sometime in the 1930s. It is recorded that before enlisting to fight World War II (1939 - 1945) in January 16, 1942, he was a 'cartoonist in New York' and a 'commercial artist' in Vermont. As a soldier he received his basic training at Camp Croft (S.C.) before being assigned to a Paratroopers unit at Fort Benning. Also in 1942, he was engaged to Mary Sabin of Burlington. Daly was discharged in 1944, with the rank of Corporal, but continued to work with the military as a Display and Information Officer at the War Assets Administration in Burlington. At this time, the Dalys lived on 'Poor Farm Road' in Underhill Center, Vermont. Gorge also worked as an art director with the Townsend Advertising Service of Burlington until about 1947. In 1947 he partnered with fellow veterans John A. Hamilton and William J. Garneau to from 'Garneau, Daly and Hamilton Advertising Designers'. By 1949, Garneru left the firm and it was renamed Daily and Hamilton. Daly served as Art Director of the firm. In 1949, he illustrated Ralph Nading Hill's The Winooski, Heartway of Vermont and in 1950, Hill's second book Contrary Country. In 1949, he introduced his only map, a historical pictorial map of Vermont. At some point the Daly family relocated to Port Angeles, Washington, where he died in 1993. More by this mapmaker...
