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.

E. Byron Bayne (fl. c. 1912 – c. 1913) was a New York publisher and entrepreneur. He may have been based in White Plains, although this is uncertain. Bayne is credited with publishing two important views, one from 1912 of New York City that was later repurposed to advertise Knickerbocker Beer, and a 1913 view of the New York Zoological Gardens (Bronx Zoo).

Dunston Company, in 1882. In 1907 this company became the Dunston Lithographing Company. It was reorganized as the Dunston-Weiler Company in 1909 and moved to Dunkirk, New York, where it had a large new plant. Dunston served as president of the company until July 1911. He married his wife Nellie Sabin Taber on February 28, 1883 with whom he had one daughter. Learn More...
