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
Arthur Zaidenberg (1902 - April 16, 1990) was an American painter, sculptor, muralist, author, and teacher. Born in New York City, Zaidenberg is perhaps best known for the classic art-instruction book Anyone Can Draw, published in 1938. He stated in his 'revolutionary' technique that anyone capable of writing the alphabet could combine simple shapes and draw. Zaidenberg also holds the distinction of being the first professor at New York University to used nude models in his life drawing class. Over the course of his career, Zaidenberg painted over 100 murals, including for the cruise ship Rotterdam and for the St. Moritz Hotel in Manhattan. He served in the Army Signal Corps during World War II making animated films. He lived in Woodstock, New York for at least thirty years before moving to San Miguel de Allende in Mexico in 1980, where he spent the last ten years of his life. More by this mapmaker...
