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. That said, we put significant care and effort into scanning and editing these maps, and we’d appreciate a credit when possible. Should you wish to credit us, please use the following credit line:

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 Hiroshige II (二代目 歌川広重; 1826 - September 17, 1869) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period trained in the Utagawa School. Aside from his birth name (Suzuki Chinpei 鈴木鎮平), details on his early life are scant, but at some point in adolescence or early adulthood he began apprenticing under Hiroshige (1797 - 1858) and was strongly influenced by his style. During the life of his master, Hiroshige II used a variety of pennames, but after his master's death in 1858 he began to use Hiroshige. As the most successful of his master's small group of students, Hiroshige II was groomed to be his master's heir in all matters and even married his daughter, Otatsu. However, the marriage was unhappy and ended after several years, with Otatsu remarrying another of her father's students, Shigemasa (c. 1842 - 1894), who began to use the Hiroshige name, eventually adopting the name Hiroshige III to differentiate himself from Hiroshige II.

Daikokuya Kinnosuke (大黒屋金之助; fl. c. 1853 - 1879) was a publisher of the late Edo and early Meiji periods. The firm was almost certainly named after its founder and may have retained the name after his death. The firm was originally based in Tsukiji in Edo / Tokyo and later moved to Ningyocho in Nihonbashi. It published works by several of the late masters of the ukiyo-e genre, including members of the Utagawa School, Yoshitoshi, and Kawanabe Kyōsai. The subjects of its prints ranged from views and maps to anatomical works, representations of scenes from literature, and fantastical depictions of ghosts. Learn More...
