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
Frank Leonard Sizer (September 29, 1856 - July 11, 1942) was an American civil and mining engineer active at various sites. He was born Ottawa, Illinois, and studied engineering and surveying at the University of Michigan. On graduating, he moved to Leadville, Colorado, then in the early days of the Colorado Silver Boom (1879 - 1893). He stayed there for several years, mapping mining claims, before relocated to Helena Montana Territory by March of 1882. There he was both a chief clerk in the surveyor general's office, and maintained private business interests. He was a partner in Sizer and Keerl (with James S. Keerl), a Colorado mining concern active from 1890 - 1897. In 1901 he spent a year consulting at the Rosario Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico. He participated at various levels in numerous other mines throughout Montana and was active in various trade organizations. In 1909, he moved to California where in 1942 he died at his home in Berkeley. More by this mapmaker...
Morgan Lithograph (1864 - Present) was founded in 1864 by William J. Morgan (1838 - 1904) and George W. Morgan (1843 - 1905) as W. J. Morgan and Comapny. William was born in Wales and Gorge was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania after the family emigrated. This issued trade cards, broadsheets, maps, pamphlets, postcards, and advertising posters. By the late 1880s, the firm focused almost entirely on colorful large-scale chromolithographs for the circus industry, with Ringling Brothers being their primary client. The name of the firm was simplified to Morgan Lithograph in 18987. They won gold medals at both the 1889 Paris Exposition and the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago for their high quality large-format lithographs. The firm still operates in Cleveland, Ohio. The firm famously produced the political posters for William McKinley's 1896 presidential campaign. In the early 20th century, they segued into film posters for the nascent motion picture company. The firm remains in operation in Cleveland after nearly 160 years. Learn More...
