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.

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
Maxwell Revenson (January 2, 1926 - November 2, 1966) was a graphic artist and humorist active in New York during the second half of the 20th century. Revenson was from the Midwood section of Brooklyn, New York. He was recognized early for his artistic talent and enrolled in the New York High School for Music and Art. He then completed his undergraduate studies at Columbia University before serving in the U.S. Air Force during World War II (1939 - 1945). After the war, he enrolled in the Yale MFA program (1951). Revenson was an editor of both the Yale Record and the Yale Literary Magazine. He married Joyce Blitman (1931 - 2020) in 1951, a few months before being awarded his MFA. During his MFA studies, he produced a pictorial map of Yale with Herbert Brook (1909 - 1994) while still a student (1950). He also composed artwork for the Patty Duke Game, issued in 1963. He died unexpectedly in 1966 of a heart attack. More by this mapmaker...
