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.
Cartographer
Sándor Ék (August 27, 1902 - January 15, 1975) (a.k.a. Alex Keil) was a Hungarian graphic artist and painter. Ék, the son of a poor working-class family, spent his childhood in a suburb of Pest (Angyalföld). He became interested in socialist ideology at a young age and was a member of the Hungarian Communist Party (KMP) by the age of 16. Ék celebrated the establishment of the Hungarian Soviet Republic (the world's second socialist republic) in 1919, but it survived only 133 days. He fled Hungary after the collapse of the Hungarian Soviet Republic and ended up in Vienna. He participated in the 'Young Worker's International' in Moscow in 1921, where he met Lenin. He stayed in Moscow for some time where he studied with El Lissitzky. During this time he painted in modern and constructivist style, until he gave up these practices for the obligatory socialist realism. He also spent time in Berlin, Paris, and Amsterdam, and settled in Germany in 1925. After Hitler rose to power in 1933 Ék left Germany for the Soviet Union. Ék joined the Red Army in 1944 and was with the army when Budapest was liberated. Following Budapest's liberation, three antifascist posters by Ék, all of which predicted the defeat of Hitler's nazis, were plastered all over the city. After the war, Ék was named the director of the Academy of Applied Arts and, in 1949, he gained a teaching position at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts. More by this mapmaker...
