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 S
Bernard-Antoine Jaillot (???? – 1749) was a French map publisher active in Paris in the first half of the 18th century. He is part of the prestigious Jaillot cartographic dynasty, his father is Bernard-Jean-Hyacinthe Jaillot (1673 - 1739), and grandfather Alexis-Hubert Jaillot (c. 1632- 1712). As both father and son published as 'B. Jaillot' or 'Bernard Jaillot', and both worked in the same style from the same offices on a Quai d'Augustins, they are often conflated and their separate work can be distinguished only by date and other tangential data. Like his father, Bernard-Antoine also held the position of Géographe Ordinaire du Roi. BnF data suggests he was born in the 18th century, but it is unlikely, has there are major publications positively attributed from 1717, which would be unlikely. More by this mapmaker...
