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.

Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack.

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
John Scott Williams (August 18, 1877 - November 1975) was an English artist active in the United States. Born in Everton, Liverpool, England, Williams immigrated to the United States in 1885 and studied nights at the Art Institute of Chicago. While attending the Art Institute, Williams worked as a photographic retoucher and commercial artist. After graduating, Williams worked for the New York Herald Tribune from 1927 - 1934. His work also appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, Ladies' Home Journal, Redbook, and Collier's. He served as head of the fine arts department at Wyoming State University from 1948 - 1952 and also organized the American Artists' Professional league, serving as the organization's president from 1955 - 1957. He married Clara Elsene Peck, a fellow artist with whom he collaborated often, in 1906, with whom he had two children. Williams and Peck divorced in 1930, and Williams married Mina Van Bott later that same year on June 30, 1930 in Leonia, New Jersey. Williams died in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in November 1975.
