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
Dawson Lawrence (fl. c. 1890 - 1920), in one case as 'Dawson Lawrence Co.,' was a civic leader based in South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in the late 19th and early 20th century. Little is known of his early life, but by the 1890s he was active in fraternal and labor organizations, including the Masons, Junior Order of United American Mechanics, and Knights of the Golden Eagle. City directories from the end of the 19th century list him as a traveling salesman, but by the end of the century he was noted as the president of the 'Equitable Building and Loan Association,' which was likely associated with a fraternal order. Three known works were copyrighted by him, all chromolithographic broadsides for fraternal organizations. More by this mapmaker...
Sackett and Wilhelms (c. 1887 - 1945), often as the Sackett and Wilhelms Lithographing and Printing Company, was a lithographic printer based in New York City, and more specifically in Brooklyn. The firm was best known for their printing of chromolithographic illustrations for the satirical magazine Judge, but they also produced broadsides, maps, and books, and were especially active in producing posters to support the U.S. war effort in the First World War. The company's printshop in Brooklyn was notable for being the home to the world's first modern air-conditioning system, designed by Willis Carrier (1876 - 1950), working at the time for the Buffalo Forge Company. Because of humidity in the summertime, paper would shrink and expand throughout the day, causing the colored inks, applied one at a time, to be misaligned. Desperate for a solution, Sackett and Wilhelms turned to Buffalo Forge, who tasked their promising young engineer Carrier with finding a solution, leading him to devise methods for controlling humidity in addition to cooling air.
