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
Charles A. Rice (November 6, 1885 - August 12, 1931) was an American civil engineer. Born in Buffalo, New York, Rice was a member of the New York National Guard with the rank of sergeant during its deployment to the Mexican border in 1916-17. While there he created a map that others could use to trace their own movements around the area. Per a short article that appeared in The Buffalo Times on August 12, 1917, we learned that Rice served in the 74th Infantry Regiment for a year, before which he was an engineer in the State Highway Department. He obtained an honorable discharge after his year in the New York National Guard and found work in an irrigation engineering company. He was arrested in McAllen, Texas, where the regiment had been stationed, on suspicion of violating the Espionage Act, although we have found no trace of what happened with this charges. Rice stayed in McAllen, eventually becoming the City Engineer, a post he held for only six months before his death. He died on August 12, 1931 from a pulmonary embolism while living in McAllen, Texas. At the time of his death he was married to Virginia Rice, who appears to have been his second wife. His first wife, whom he married in 1907, was named Mary Octavia Rice. More by this mapmaker...
