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
Udo J. Keppler (April 4, 1872 - July 4, 1956) was an American political cartoonist, Native American advocate, and publisher, known as Joseph Keppler Jr. beginning in 1894. The son of Joseph Keppler (1838 - 1894), the founder of Puck magazine, he was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and graduated from the Columbia Institute in 1888. Between 1890 and 1891, Keppler studied in Germany, and worked for Puck from 1890 until 1914. He contributed cartoons to the magazine beginning that year and became a co-owner of the magazine after his father's death in 1894. He changed his name to Joseph Keppler Jr. after he inherited his father's position at the magazine. He sold Puck in December 1913, and stayed on as art director for another four months. After the sale of Puck, Keppler contributed to Judge and Leslie's Weekly until 1915, and retired in 1920. He moved to La Jolla, California, in 1946 where he died ten years later. He married Louise (Lulu) Eva Bechtel, a match opposed by his mother and sister, on April 4, 1895. More by this mapmaker...

Puck (1871 - 1918) was the first successful humor magazine in the United States and featured colorful cartoons, caricatures, and political satire. Founded by Joseph Keppler in St. Louis, Puck began publishing both an English and a German language edition in March 1871. The German edition moved to New York City five years later and published its first issue there on September 27, 1876, and the English edition soon followed and began publishing from New York on March 14, 1877. 'Puckish' means 'childishly mischievous'm which led to Shakespeare's Puck (from A Midsummer Night's Dream) to be recreated as the mascot of the magazine and for his name to become its title. Each issue featured a full-color political cartoon on the front cover, a full-color non-political cartoon on the back cover, and a two-page centerfold that usually addressed a political topic as well. In 1893, Keppler moved the magazine to Chicago and published smaller editions of Puck from the Chicago World's Fair. Keppler died in 1893, and Henry Cutler Bunner, who had been editor since 1877, took over. Bunner operated the magazine until he passed away in 1896, which left Harry Leon Wilson in charge until his resignation in 1902. The German edition was published until 1897. Joseph Keppler, Jr. then became editor. William Randolph Hearst bought the magazine in 1916 and operated it for another two years until the final issue was distributed on September 5, 1918.
