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
You can use your digial image any way you want! Our digital images are unrestricted by copyright and can be used, modified, and published freely. The textual description that accompanies the original antique map is not included in the sale of digital images and remains protected by copyright.

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
Utagawa Yoshikazu (歌川芳員; fl. c. 1853 - 1870), also known as Ishikawa Yoshikazu (一川芳員), was, as his name indicates, a painter and ukiyo-e woodblock printer of the Utagawa School and a disciple of Utagawa Kuniyoshi (歌川国芳). His early work often dealt with battle scenes or natural themes, but after the opening of Yokohama as a treaty port, he began to produce prints dealing with foreigners there (Yokohama-e). Among his last known works is an 1870 print (東京繁栄車往来之図) containing somewhat fanciful illustrations of modern technology, including Yoshikazu's imagination of a steam locomotive (none had arrived in Japan yet, so he had to work off of second-hand accounts).

Shineidō (新栄堂; c. 1859 - 1864) was a publisher based in Yokohama in the late Edo and Meiji periods. It appears to have begun operations soon after Yokohama's opening as a treaty port and would certainly qualify as one of the earliest publishers, if not the earliest, in the city. It only appears to have been active for a few years, focusing on maps and views of the new city. A publisher of the same name appears to have operated in the late Meiji and Taisho periods in Tokyo, though it is unclear if there is any connection between the two. Learn More...
