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 S
Samuel Eleazer Mann (April 10, 1853 - September 14, 1930) was a Methuen, Massachusetts, based cartographer who produced large format missionary field maps on cloth for the American Baptist Missionary Union (A.B.M.U). Most of Mann's maps appear to have been one-offs designed on cloth using Diamond Dyes, India ink, and stencils. The maps were made to order as field documents for various Baptist missionary societies, most particularly the A.B.M.U. The archives of Mount Holyoke College identify one such map, some 13 feet wide, acquired by the Student Volunteer Band. More by this mapmaker...
American Baptist Missionary Union (1814 - Present) (A.B.M.U) formerly known as the American Baptist Missionary Union and the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society) is an international Protestant Christian missionary society founded in 1814 in the United States. It is a constituent board affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA. The Society was founded in 1814 at the first Triennial Convention and initially sponsored by two American missionaries in Burma, Adoniram Judson and Ann Hasseltine Judson. The organization is the oldest Baptist missionary organization based in North America. The Society was involved in sending workers to many different countries including China during the late Qing Dynasty. Today, operating as American Baptist International Ministries, the society is active in some 80 countries. Learn More...
