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
Samuel Stillwell Doughty (1810 - July, 1888) was a New York City surveyor active in the middle part of the 19th century. Doughty was the son of another New York City Surveyor, Edward Doughty (1789 - 1863), from whom he learnt the trade. Doughty produced numerous city surveys and cadastral maps used for property transfers and legal disputes. From 1844 to about 1846 he also held the position of New York City Street Commissioner. Samuel was highly significant in the early development of New York City. He laid out may of the streets in upper New York as well as assisted on the initial surveys of Central Park. In 1880 he published short biography of his father, Edward Doughty. He resided on 28th Street near Broadway, New York City. More by this mapmaker...
