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.

Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack.

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
Frederico Carlos Hoehne (February 1, 1882 - March 16, 1959) was a Brazilian ecologist, taxonomist, and botanist. Hoehne was born in Juiz de Fora and his parents ran an orchid hothouse and farm. He was homeschooled before attending the Colégio Americano, where he continued his education in botany under the guidance of João Barbosa Rodrigues and Emilio Jobet. He was named head gardener (jardiniere-chefe) at the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro in 1907. He soon became involved in the Rondon Commission and conducted surveys of plant life in the Mato Grosso and Amazonas regions. He also participated in the expeditions surrounding the establishment of the telegraph lines in 1910 and served as the botanist on the Roosevelt-Rondon expedition, which was in the field in 1913-1914. By 1917 he held a position at the Instituto de Botánica in São Paulo and was named director in 1942. Hoehne was a prolific author, contributing to the final reports of all the major expeditions of which he was a part, as well as writing numerous books and well over fifty articles. He founded the Botanical Garden of São Paulo, and was also director of the Butantan Institute and the São Paulo Zoo. He married Carla Augusta Frieda Kulhmann in 1907, with whom he had four children.
