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
Nathaniel Whittock (January 26, 1791 - August 12, 1860) was an English landscape, map, and topographical engraver active in London in the first half of the 19th century. He was best known for aerial perspective bird's-eye Views with several important views of English and English Colonial cities in his corpus. Whittock was born in Westminster. His early education is mired in obscurity, but from 1824, he appears as 'Teacher of Drawing and Perspective, and Lithographist to the University of Oxford' - a significant posting. He worked for the academic community of Oxford, publishing several views for the Ashmolean Museum. In 1828, he relocated to London, setting up shop in partnership with Edward Goodman as 'Whittock and Goodman'. This relationship was formally bought out by Whittock and dissolved on November 21, 1829. By the early 1830s, he was established in his own lithography studio at 24 Garnault Place, Spa Fields, Islington, London. In 1848, he partnered with his cousin Henry Hyde, relocating his operations to 34 Richard Street, Islington. This relationship lasted until his death in 1860. More by this mapmaker...
David Bogue (October 16, 1808 - November 1856) was a Scottish publisher and printseller active in London in the first half of the 19th century. Bogue was born in East Lothian, Scotland, from a humble farming. family. Not suited to working in the fields, he apprenticed to Thomas Ireland, a bookseller in Edinburgh. When Ireland died, in 1836, Bogue moved to London where he took a position under the bookseller Charles Tilt (1797 - 1861). Tilt took him into partnership and by 1843, had retired, leaving the business to Bogue. Bogue was a careful but prolific publisher, issuing, among other important works, Isaac Walton’s The Complete Angler. He also worked extensively with the artist, engraver, and humorist George Cruikshank (1792 - 1873), also a Tilt prodigy. Bogue died young, at just 48. Tilt, still alive at time, helped to settle Bogus affairs. By 1859, most of Bogue’s copyrights and stock, as well as the shop, had been taken over by William Kent. Learn More...
