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 S
Peter Heylyn (November 29, 1599 - May 8 1662) was an English religious polemicist and historian, known for having incorporated his political concepts into his geographical works Microcosmus (1621) Cosmography (1657). He was born in Oxfordshire, and eventually would graduate from Magdalen College, Oxford, on 19 January 1616, at the age of 16. Later he became a lecturer on historical geography at Magdalen, earning his masters' in 1620. He became well known as a controversialist, and as an outspoken preacher. A clerical follower of Charles I, he would suffer setbacks under the Commonwealth following the execution of the King. Nevertheless he remained a prolific writer and an acrimonious controversialist against the Puritans. In addition to this, he followed in the footsteps of earlier geographers in writing his own 'Cosmography,' an attempt to describe in meticulous detail every aspect of the known world. This work would prove popular enough to be produced posthumously in seven editions. More by this mapmaker...
Edmund Bohun (1645–1699) was an English writer on history and politics, and a Tory polemicist. He was born in Ringsfield, Suffolk, England and educated at Queens' College, Cambridge. He would begin writing against the Whigs after the Exclusion Crisis of the 1680s. His views - compounded with his unpopularity - would land Bohun briefly in prison. He would emigrate to Carolina, becoming in 1698 the first recorded Chief Justice there. Popular or no, Bohun died of Yellow Fever in 1699. Learn More...
