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
The Survey of Palestine (1920 - 1948) was a department of the government of the British Mandate of Palestine that surveyed and mapped Palestine. Established in 1920, the Survey moved from Jaffa to Tel Aviv in 1931. The Zionist Organization (now the World Zionist Organization) pressured the Survey to begin triangulation surveys of Palestine from its creation with the goal of using the surveys to identify land in Palestine that the Organization could acquire. For this reason, Palestinian Arabs resisted the Survey's efforts, since they viewed its projects as efforts to sell their land out from under them. The survey completed the national triangulation framework in 1930 and the 1:10,000 survey in 1934. In 1940 the government relieved the Survey of its responsibility to adjudicate land settlement claims, which allowed the department to focus on surveying. The department had finalized topographical maps for all of Palestine except the southern Negev by the 1947-1949 Palestine war. The British Mandate appointed a temporary Director General of the Survey Department for the both the forthcoming 'Jewish State and 'Arab State' in early 1948 under the terms of the United National Partition Plan for Palestine.
