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.
Cartographer
Howard Kohlbrenner (November 28, 1897 - February 8, 1986) was a Philadelphia-based artist and art director for several publications. He attended the Philadelphia Museum College of Art and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. After working as an accountant in his early 20s, presumably while also practicing his own artistic works, from 1929 until the early 1970s, Kohlbrenner served as the At Director for the Chilton Company's Automotive Publications, including Automotive Industries and Motor Age. He took on a similar role with other publications by McGraw-Hill (which seems to have bought out Chilton) as well, such as Food Engineering and Aircraft and Missiles. Kohlbrenner was also deeply involved with the Old York Road Historical Society, designing the organization's logo in 1936 and serving for a time as an editor of the Old York Road Historical Society Bulletin.
