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.

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
Pieter Jacobsz Bast (1569 - 1605) was a Dutch engraver, publisher, surveyor, and geographer based in the cities of Antwerp, Emden, and Leyden. He was born in Antwerp, the son of engraver Jacob Bast and Josyntje Plantin. He became a master in the guild of gold and silversmiths in Antwerp, where he lived from 1591 to 1598. His engraving of Emden was probably drawn on the spot, as he lived in the town in 1598, the year it was composed. He was employed by Claes Jansz. Visscher in Amsterdam from 1599 to 1601; Visscher would purchase some or all of Bast's city views and landscapes after his death and continue editing them under his own name. He is known virtually only by his surviving works: printed plans and architectural views of Middelburg (1594), Franeker, Oldenberg, and Emden (1598), Amsterdam (1599), Leiden (1600), and Leeuwarden (1603). He produced prospects of each of these cities as well, the plans and prospects possibly intended to accompany one another. He died too young to be able to pass his trade to his sons.
