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

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
Ludwig Zettl (May 5, 1821 - April 14, 1891) was a Bohemian-Austrian architect and civil engineer active in the second half of the 19th century. Zettl was born in the Czech town of Poděbrady. He studied first at the Prague Polytechnikum, then, from 1843 - 1844, at the Vienna Polytechnische Institut. Afterward, he worked as an intern at the Vienna Staatsbaudepartement while studying architecture at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste Wien (Vienna Academy of Fine Arts). The internship proved valuable, as Zettl's connections yielded design contracts from 1850 onwards for state hospitals and prisons - the work for which he is most famous. By 1859, he was an Ingenieur I. Klasse (First Class Imperial Engineer). From 1859 to 1865, he was a member of the Vienna Building Commission and, as a technical representative of the ministry, a member of the City Expansion Commission. His plans greatly influenced the construction of the Wiener Ringstrassenzone, one of the world's most spectacular boulevards. His work earned him numerous accolades, including the Franz-Joseph-Orden (Franz-Joseph Order), the Ordens der Eisernen Krone (Order of the Iron Crown), and in 1883, a knighthood.
