Digital Map Information

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
William M. Burk (March 1834 - August 30, 1905) was an American lithographer and printer. Born in Philadelphia, Burk worked for the Inquirer Printing Office in Philadelphia where John R. McFetridge (1844 - 1903) was a colleague. Burk worked as the foreman and printer and McFetridge was a stamp agent. The pair purchased the Inquirer Printing Office from William W. Harding in 1877 and operated as Burk and McFetridge until about 1900. They remained in the same building as the Inquirer (304 Chestnut Street) and operated out of the second and fourth floors until they moved to 306-308 Chestnut Street in 1884. The firm incorporated as the Burk and McFetridge Company in 1893. It advertised as employing 'one hundred and ten hands' in 1898 and had total assets amounting to somewhere between $400,000 and $500,000. McFetridge withdrew from the firm in around 1900 and established his own publishing and printing firm as John R. McFetridge and Sons. He married his wife Charlotte in 1856 with whom he had 4 children, 2 sons and 2 daughters. Both his sons died before him. Burk died in 1905 More by this mapmaker...
John Reed McFetridge (June 1844 - June 5, 1903) was an American stamp agent and printer. Born in Philadelphia, McFetridge worked as a stamp agent at the Inquirer Printing Office in Philadelphia where William M. Burk (March 1834 - August 30, 1905) was a colleague. McFetridge and Burk bought the Inquirer Printing Office from William W. Harding in 1877 and operated as Burk and McFetridge until about 1900. McFetridge left Burk and McFetridge around 1900 and founded John R. McFetridge and Sons, which operated until at least 1945. McFetridge died suddenly at his home in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on June 5, 1903. According to the coroner's report, the cause of death was 'asphyxiation due to the escape of illuminating gas.' McFetridge married Elizabeth McCaw in 1865, with whom he had 4 sons and a daughter. Learn More...
