Digital Map Information

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
William Hardy Wilson (February 14, 1881 - December 16, 1955) was a Sydney based Australian architect, artist and author. As an architect he is regarded as one of the great masters of the 20th century. Wilson was born in Campbelltown, New South Wales, the second son of William and Jessie Wilson. He attended Newington College and studied architecture at Sydney Technical College. He also studied drawing and painting under the Australian painter Sydney Long (1871 - 1955). He also studied in England where he passed the examinations of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Back in Australia he partnered with fellow architect Stacey Neave. Wilson was impressed with American colonial architecture and attempted to recreate it in Australia, becoming a major proponent of the Inter-War Georgian Revival style. Most of his architectural work consisted of private home and small commercial buildings, several of which survive today. In 1927 Wilson relocated to Melbourne and, in 1930, to Tasmania. Wilson eventually returned to Melbourne where he lived in Richmond until his death in 1955. More by this mapmaker...
Sydney Harbour Trust (November 1, 1900 - 1936) was an Australian extragovernmental organization established to Navigation Department and Marine Board of Sydney Harbour. Prior to the founding of the trust Sydney's many wharves and piers were privately controlled and constructed without an overall scheme in mind. The Trust changed all of that. Among other duties, the Trust was responsible for the improvement and preservation of Sydney's port, movement of vessels and handling of cargo, dredging operations, licensing, erections of piers, wharfage tax, and more. All foreshores, lighthouses and tugs within the harbour which belonged to the Government were vested in the Trust, as well as the power to reclaim land. It was run by a parliament consisting of three appointed commissioners. The trust was decommissioned in 1946 and replaced with the Maritime Services Board. Learn More...
