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
Albert Levering (1869 - April 14, 1929) was an American architect and cartoonist. Born in Hope, Indiana, Levering's father was an architect, who moved the family to Kansas City, Missouri, in 1882. Levering appears to have learned architecture from his father, Levi Levering, and worked with his father's firm from from 1887 until at least 1894, when he moved to Minneapolis in 1894. By 1895, Levering was a staff artist for the Minneapolis Journal and was studying with Burt Harwood. He moved to Chicago, Illinois, in 1896 and began working for the Chicago Tribune as an artist. Apparently, Levering chose not to stay in Chicago very long, because obituaries state that he moved to New York City in 1896. Sometime in the late 1890s, Levering spent two years studying art at the National Academy in Munich, Germany, and was back in New York by 1900, per the 1900 U.S. Census. That year he contributed work to Harper's Monthly Magazine, and Harper's Weekly. During his career, Levering also worked on the staff at Puck and Life, and illustrated several book, some of which included Grimm Tales Made Gay, Mollie and the Unwiseman, and Alice in Blunderland. Levering married Frances Jewell Youngling on May 31, 1905. More by this mapmaker...

Levering, A. ''Everybody Does It' - The National Excuse,' Puck, Vol. LXVII, No. 1721. (Puck: New York) February 23, 1910.
Puck (1871 - 1918) was the first successful humor magazine in the United States and featured colorful cartoons, caricatures, and political satire. Founded by Joseph Keppler in St. Louis, Puck began publishing both an English and a German language edition in March 1871. The German edition moved to New York City five years later and published its first issue there on September 27, 1876, and the English edition soon followed and began publishing from New York on March 14, 1877. 'Puckish' means 'childishly mischievous'm which led to Shakespeare's Puck (from A Midsummer Night's Dream) to be recreated as the mascot of the magazine and for his name to become its title. Each issue featured a full-color political cartoon on the front cover, a full-color non-political cartoon on the back cover, and a two-page centerfold that usually addressed a political topic as well. In 1893, Keppler moved the magazine to Chicago and published smaller editions of Puck from the Chicago World's Fair. Keppler died in 1893, and Henry Cutler Bunner, who had been editor since 1877, took over. Bunner operated the magazine until he passed away in 1896, which left Harry Leon Wilson in charge until his resignation in 1902. The German edition was published until 1897. Joseph Keppler, Jr. then became editor. William Randolph Hearst bought the magazine in 1916 and operated it for another two years until the final issue was distributed on September 5, 1918.
