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.
Delivery
Once you purchase our digital scan service, you will receive a download link via email - usually within seconds. 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
John Seller (December 29, 1632 - May 1697) was an English nautical chart compiler, instrument maker, and publisher. Born in London, Seller studied nautical instrument and compass making, and, in 1654, became a freeman of the Merchant Taylors' Company, and a brother of the Clockmakers' Company in 1667. In 1662, Seller was accused of high treason, tried, and found guilty. Though the details have been lost to history, it is known that Seller was one of the few, if not the only person involved, to not be executed; he was imprisoned. Later pardoned thanks to the intervention of the Duke of York, Seller was named hydrographer to the King in 1671, despite his past. It was also in 1671 that Seller published the first volume of his signature compilation of nautical charts, entitled The English Pilot. This first volume was, appropriately, dedicated to the Duke of York, who was responsible for Seller's release from prison. The English Pilot ran through many editions and was published until the end of the eighteenth century. Seller also published The Coasting Pilot in 1672 and Atlas maritimes in 1675. Seller and his wife Elizabeth had five children: three daughters and two sons. More by this mapmaker...
