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.

Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack. Some of our files are very large, and can take some time to download. Most files are saved into your computer's 'Downloads' folder. All delivery is electronic. No physical product is shipped.

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.

Paris-Soir.
Paris-Soir (October 4, 1923 - August 17, 1944) was a French daily newspaper based in Paris that notoriously continued publication during the German Occupation during World War II. Founded by Eugène Merle, a militant anarchist, the newspaper quickly fell into financial difficulties, which led to Merle losing all association with the paper, and the paper's realignment with the right by 1928. Jean Prouvost became director in 1930 and under his leadership became one of France's leading newspapers, having a circulation of 1.8 million in 1939. But in 1940, when it became clear that Paris was going to be occupied, the staff of Paris-Soir left the city (like thousands of other Parisians) and Prouvost and some of his colleagues eventually settled in Lyon. In Paris, the occupying Germans requisitioned Paris-Soir and printed their own version, using the name and its massive circulation to support the Occupation. Of course, the circulation dropped dramatically. Horrified by their situation and the coopting of their paper by the Nazis, Prouvost and other members of the Paris-Soir staff began publishing a version of their own in Unoccupied France in Lyon. This, however, set them against both the Resistance and the regime of Philippe Pétain based at Vichy. When France was liberated, Paris-Soir was banned from publication due to the connotation of collaboration with the name and Prouvost had to go into hiding to avoid arrest.
