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
Ashizawa Keigo (芦沢馨吾; fl. c. 1930 - 1949) was a Japanese editor and cartographic illustrator most active during World War II. Most of his known work is associated with the publisher Seitosha (正統社; fl. 1930 - 1949). More by this mapmaker...
Seitosha (正統社; fl. 1930 - 1949) was a Japanese publishing house active in Tokyo during the early to mid-20th century, particularly active during the wartime period of the 1930s and 1940s. Seitosha was known for official government publications, which, during this period, had a nationalistic and military leaning. During World War II, the Japanese government tightly controlled and censored publications, and Seitosha, like many other publishers, had to adhere to these strict regulations. After the war, with the democratization and demilitarization of Japan, many such publishing houses either adapted to the new environment or ceased operations. The fate of Seitosha is unclear, but we see no activity after 1950. Learn More...
