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.

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
Hugh Joseph Chisholm I (May 2, 1847 - July 1, 1912) was a Canadian-American publisher and industrialist. Born in Chippawa, Ontario, Canada, Chisholm was the fifth of ten children. He was forced to leave school and begin working as a newsboy at the age of thirteen after his father's death. Chisholm soon devised a scheme for buying and selling his own papers, instead of those owned by his employer, and by age sixteen had bought out his former employer and employed more than 200 newsboys selling books, newspapers, and magazines to steamboat and railway passengers. He and his brother founded Chisholm Brothers in 1861 to distribute newspapers across Canada and the northeastern United States. Chisholm Brothers, then called Chisholm Brothers Publishing, moved to Portland, Maine, sometime in the 1870s, likely not long after Hugh Chisholm married Henrietta Mason on September 5, 1872, with whom he had one son. Aside from the printing business, Hugh Chisholm developed extensive interests in pulp and paper. He founded several successful pulp and paper companies throughout Maine, including the Otis Falls Pulp Company mill, which was the third-largest paper mill in the country at the time. In 1901, the Oxford Paper Company's mill began producing paper, and eventually became the largest book paper mill under one roof in the world. Chisholm also helped found the International Paper Company and served as the company's second president, after the untimely passing of the first, William A. Russell. Between Russell and Chisholm, eventually thirty pulp and paper mills from across the U.S. and Canada were brought together under the umbrella of the International Paper Company. Chisholm died at home in New York City and is interred at Evergreen Cemetery in Portland, Maine. His mausoleum, often described as one of the most striking monuments in the cemetery, was commissioned by his wife after Chisholm's death. More by this mapmaker...
