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.
Delivery

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
Auguste-Victor Lenepveu (July 21, 1852 - 19??) was an Algerian artist, journalist, and antisemite. Born in Oran, French Algeria, by 1891 he was living in Colombes, in the Seine-et-Oise region of France and working as a journalist. Lenepveu is only remembered as the creator of the antisemitic propaganda collection known as the Musée des horrors. Most sources on this topic suggest that Lenepveu was a pseudonym, but interviews in Parisian newspapers, including Le Libre Parole show otherwise. In one interview, published on October 15, 1899, he describes himself as an 'Algerian and antisemite'. The Musée des horrors was forced to cease publication in 1900 by French authorities, and a second collection of cartoons entitles Musée des patriots ceased publication in 1901. In 1901 Lenepveu is identified as the president of the Comité républicain nationaliste des Batignolles (the Republican Nationalist Committee of Batignolles). His last appearance in the historical record is in April 1902 as a member of the Republican Nationalist Committee. More by this mapmaker...
