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.

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
Jacques-Gérard Milbert (November 18, 1766 - June 5, 1840) was a French artist and naturalist. He trained under Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes and taught drawing at the École nationale supérieure des mines de Paris. Afterwards, he embarked on a series of voyages that took him to different corners of the world. He joined Nicolas Baudin's voyage to Australia in 1800 as one of the expedition's appointed artists, but fell out with the captain and left the expedition before it reached its destination. Nevertheless, he published Voyage pittoresque à l'Ile de France, au Cap de Bonne Espérence et à l'Ile de Ténériffe on his return to France. Afterwards, in 1815, he moved to the United States of America, where he would live for eight years. Based in New York City, Milbert travelled extensively throughout New England and Upstate New York, producing drawings and collecting natural history specimens that were sent back to the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris. He returned to France in 1823 to teach again at the mining school and published his accounts and drawings of the United States. More by this mapmaker...
Jean Victor Adam (January 28, 1801 - December, 30 1866), often simply as Victor Adam, was a French painter and printer (lithographer). Born and raised in Paris, his father Jean Adam was an engraver. Jean Victor studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and worked with the noted painters Charles Meynier and Jean-Baptiste Regnault. After 1819, he was commissioned to paint a series of works celebrating French victories in the recent wars of the revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. Although his works spanned many subjects, he remained best known for his battle scenes. From 1846, he devoted himself to the production of lithographs rather than paintings. Learn More...
