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.

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
Charles 'Granville' Hosken (c. 1867 - c. 1930) was an English businessman, writer, criminal, and publisher. He was more commonly known under the pseudonym 'Granville.' Granville/Hosken, publishing as Stephen Swift, issued the literary magazines Oxford and Cambridge Review and the Eye Witness and published some of the works of Oscar Wilde. In October of 1912 he was convicted of embezzlement and bigamy, was sent to prison, and his publishing assets seized. Granville/Hosken is an elusive figure of dubious personal character who seems to have been involved in a number of publishing and business scams in London. His association with 'The South' is unclear. More by this mapmaker...
South (1885 - 1891), subtitled A Journal of Southern and Southwestern Progress, was a weekly periodical dedicated to matters pertaining to the U.S. South and Southwest. The firm was based in New York, at 85 Warren Street, but also maintained offices in Jacksonville, Florida, and at 30 Fleet Street London, where an English edition was issued. The firm also published the Florida State Gazetteer and Business Directory for 1886-1887. They also issued several maps, including Granville's Map of Florida. They were initially known as the Southern Publishing Company, but were renamed 'The South' in 1886. The firm appears to have been involved in a number of questionable business practices that included not paying vendors and failing to file proper incorporation firms. The firm, which had offices in London, may have been associated with Charles Granville, a notorious London publisher, fraudster, and bigamist, as they published works together, but this is unclear. Th South went defunct when its offices were destroyed and many of its employees killed in the August 22nd 1891, Park Place building explosion and fire. Learn More...
