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
Fred Pansing (1844 - 1912) was an accomplished painter of ships and other maritime themes who was especially known for his depictions of passenger steamships. Born in Bremen, Germany, a famous maritime city, he migrated to New Jersey in his childhood and became a sailor in his teenage years. In 1872, he began his artistic career, though nothing is known of his training or preparation. His years at sea served him well, as Pansing became known for his highly realistic depictions of sailboats and steamboats and was especially renowned for his close attention to minute details. His works include oil on canvas and lithography, as well as, late in his career, photography. His lithographs were commonly though not exclusively printed by Major and Knapp in New York.

Olin D. Gray (1854 - September 2, 1938) was an American lithographer. Born in Remsen, New York, Gray was living in St. Louis, Missouri, by 1860. Gray became the manager of August Gast and Company in St. Louis in 1885. By 1887, when the St. Louis firm was reorganized, Gray was working in the New York office with Louis Wall, who had been a partner in the firm in St. Louis. The New York branch produced chromolithographs and used lithographic stones up to 36 x 52 inches. Gray opened his own lithographing firm, the Gray Lithographing Company, in 1896 when Wall moved to Brooklyn and opened his own company. Gray also maintained the Gast Lithographing and Engraving Company until 1910. Gray sold the Gray Lithographing Company in 1910 to the Sackett and Wilhelms Company. The Gray Lithographing Company existed until 1930. Gray married Lydia Blossom Gwin on September 6, 1883, with whom he had two children. Learn More...
