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
Arthur Bartholomew Suchy (1901 - 1995) was a 20th century commercial artist, illustrator, and pictorial mapmaker. Suchy was born in Cleveland, Ohio and studied at New York's Colgate University from 1919 to 1923, where he distinguished himself as a student politician, athlete, and sportsman. His career as an illustrator and commercial artist spanned more that 50 years, but he was most active as a mapmaker between 1920 and 1940. Other than his map of Colgate University, most of his work focuses either on his native Ohio or his adopted home, Florida. Suchy's corpus is small but striking. His first map depicts his alma mater, Colgate University (1927). In the same year he issued a similar map of Swarthmore College (1927). This is followed by his large map The Heart of Cleveland (1928). He seems to have taken a 6-year break from pictorial mapmaking to focusing on his commercial career, but issued a new pictorial map illustrating his adopted home, Miami, in 1935. A second map of Cleveland, intending to illustrate the city as it appeared in 1836, was issued in 1937. This was followed by a general map of Ohio,Buckeye State issued in 1939. His final map, illustrating Key West, appeared in 1940. Some of his latter maps, particularly his Key West map, appeared in both hand-colored 'limited edition' formats and uncolored editions for the mass market. More by this mapmaker...
Du Bois Press (1895 - 1994) was a Rochester, New York based printing concern active throughout the 20th century. The firm was founded by Abraham Ford Du Bois (March 25, 1872 - July 13, 1948) in Newark, New Jersey, in 1895. It was initially an annex company to the Newark Union, a newsweekly acquired by Du Bois in 1895. In 1910, Ford Du Bois sold the Newark Union to his brother John E. Du Bois, and relocated the Du Bois Press to Rochester, expanding its printing operations considerably. In the 1920s, the firm established a strong reputation for printing college and university yearbooks. By the mid-20th century, they were among the largest printing business in Rochester. Ford Du Bois retired in 1940, passing the business to his son, Robert Du Bois. The firm was acquired in the 1980s by Omnicom Group Inc., a Manhattan-based advertising consortium. In 1994, the Du Bois press closed its doors and sold off much of its equipment. It was pushed into bankruptcy in 1995. Learn More...
