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.

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.

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
Eric Teichman (January 16, 1884 - December 3, 1944) was a British diplomat and orientalist. Educated at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge University, Teichman became a diplomat. He traveled widely in Central Asia beginning before World War I and ending in the 1930s. He wrote two books about his travels Travels of a Consular Officer in North-West China (published in 1921) and Travels of a Consular Officer in Eastern Tibet (published in 1922). In 1935 he crossed the Pamir and Karakoram mountain ranges by pony and aon foot after taking a truck across the Tarim Basin to Kashgar. He was working as a diplomatic advisor in Chongqing, China, in 1943, after which he returned home to his estate, Honingham Hall. Teichman heard gunfire near his home of December 3, 1944, and went to investigate. After he did not come back to the house, his wife organized a search party. The following day Teichman was found with a bullet wound to the head. An investigation revealed that two American soldiers from a nearby U.S. Army Air Force base had been poaching on his estate and shot Teichman. The murderer, Private George E. Smith, was court-martialed, found guilty of murder, and sentenced to death. Despite calls for clemency, even from Teichman's widow, Smith was executed by hanging on May 8, 1945 (VE Day). The other man, Private Leonard S. Wijpacha, was charged with accessory to murder but was not sentenced to death. More by this mapmaker...
Royal Geographical Society (fl. 1830 - present) is a British Society established in 1830 to promote geographical science and exploration. Originally titled the "Geographical Society of London", the RGS received its royal charter from Queen Victoria in 1859 shortly after absorbing several similar but more regional societies including the African Association, the Raleigh Club and the Palestine Association. The RGS sponsored many of the most important and exciting voyages of exploration ever undertaken, including the exploration of Charles Darwin, David Livingstone, Robert Falcon Scott, Richard F. Burton, John Speke, George Hayward, H. M Stanley, Ernest Shackleton and Sir Edmond Hillary. Today, the RGS remains a leading global sponsor of geographical and scientific studies. The Society is based in Lowther Lodge, South Kensington, London. Learn More...
