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

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
LeBaron-Bonney Company (1938 - 2019) was a novelty publishing company based in Bradford, Massachusetts. The company was formed by the brothers Le Baron Atwood Atherton (July 31, 1905 - 19??) and John / Jack 'Bonney' Atherton (1913 - ). The Atherton's were born in Brockton, Massachusetts. Their family owned the 'Atherton Furniture Company'. The LeBaron-Bonney Company was initially a bicycle rental service on Cape Cod, near the Atherton family summer home, but almost immediately changed course and began issuing direct-mail pictorial maps, model ships, and other novelties. The firm's interest in pictorial maps seems to stem from Jack Atherton, who designed and published a map of Martha's Vineyard independently in 1937. Other maps include a 'Pirate Map' of the world, and Map of Maine (1938). In 1959, the firm moved to Haverhill, MA, and changed course again and began restoring vintage Ford and GM cars. They moved again, this time to Amesbury, MA. At some point, the Athertons sold their shares to other interests. LeBaron-Bonney formally declared bankruptcy and went out of business in 2019.
