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.

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.

Louis Elizabeth Andrews Fischer (1901-1974) was a New Orleans bookseller, carnival costume designer, and artist active in the middle part of the 20th century. She studied at Newcomb college from 1917 to 1921, after which she opened a book shop on St. Peter Street, in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Fischer was a member of the Arts and Crafts Club of New Orleans (1922 - 1951) and a prominent figure in the New Orleans art and social scene. She was particularly admired for her extravagant costume designs for the annual Carnival or New Orleans Mardi Gras Parades. She studied the esoteric art of carnival costume design under Ellsworth Woodward while at Newcomb College. Personally, she was known for flamboyance in dress and personal style, often dressing in tweed jackets with neckties and wearing ethnic costumes. She lived in the Pontalba Apartments in the French Quarter with her husband Lawrence Fisher, who she married in 1926. Learn More...
