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.

Bernard Spindler (December 30, 1825 - December 29, 1865) was a German-American artist and lithographer. Born in Germany, Spindler died one day before his fortieth birthday from consumption. He married Rosalia Stetfilt, another German immigrant, on May 27, 1851. More by this mapmaker...
Ebenezer Tappen (September 11, 1815 - January 25, 1854) was an American engraver, lithographer, and publisher. Born in Manchester, Massachusetts, Tappen began working for a banknote and letterhead engraver in Boston in 1837. He worked as an engraver and lithographer from the same address, 39 State Street, until late 1848 or early 1849, when he formed a partnership with Ludowick Harrington Bradford (November 10, 1820 - December 13, 1885), another engraver and lithographer in Boston. The pair operated Tappen and Bradford until Tappen's death, when Bradford started his own firm called L.H. Bradford and Company. Learn More...
Lodowick Harrington Bradford (November 10, 1820 - December 13, 1885) was a Boston based engraver lithographer active in the second half of the 19th century. Bradford was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He studied as a line engraver before transitioning to the then new art of lithography. He even invented his own photolithographic ambrotype process that created a durable photographic picture on lithographic stone. In 1849 he partnered with Ebenezer Tappen (1815 - 1854) to form the Boston firm of Tappan and Bradford. The partnership remained active until Tappan's untimely death in January, 1854. From 1854 to 1859 Bradford continued to operate the firm, but the imprint changed to 'L. H. Bradford and Company.' It is not clear who the 'and Company' was, possibly Tappan's heirs? From late 1859 until his 1870, he printed under 'L. H. Bradford.' His last known lithographs appeared in 1860, but he did continue copper and steel engraving until his death. Bradford was married to Martha Brown, from an old Gloucester Family. After his wedding in 1849, he divided his time between Gloucester and Boston. In Gloucester he made the acquaintance of the local painter Fitz Henry Lane (1804 - 1865) and worked with him to produce several views in the 1850s. He died on the road between Boston and Gloucester in 1885. Learn More...
