Digital Map Information

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
Marie Adélaïde Delisle (July 13, 1788 - December 5, 1856) was a French editor and publisher. Born in Linverville, France, Delisle helped on her family farm until she married Jean-Baptiste Louis Turgis in 1813. Turgis bought a Paris-based print selling business in 1813 or 1814 and spent most of the first years of their marriage in Paris building up the business, while Marie stayed in Gouville-sur-Mer and became a spinner to help pay the bills. Marie had both their children in Gouville during times when her husband was in Paris. Finally in 1819 or 1820 the family moved to Paris. Jean-Baptiste died on July 23, 1825, and Marie took over the printing business, founding the publishing house Veuve Turgis in 1828. Delisle ran the business and was very successful, opening offices in Toulouse, France, and New York, United States. The business published maps, but their most popular products were Christian images, such as portraits of saints and first communion stamps. She passed the business on to her son Louis Turgis in 1855 and died in Paris in December 1856. More by this mapmaker...
