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
John Bach (1872 - 19xx) was a Norwegian-American cartographer. Born in Norway, Bach arrived in New York in March 1893 and became a citizen on January 10, 1902. On April 20, 1902, he was appointed to the civil service of the Philippine Islands as a member of the Bureau of Coast and Geodetic Survey. Throughout his many years working for the Coast and Geodetic Survey, Bach produced numerous maps of the Philippines for the Survey. By 1917, Bach was the chief of the drafting division in Manila. It is unclear exactly how long Bach stayed in the Philippines, but he was there until at least 1927, because of a record of him and his family traveling from Manila to New York City in July 1927. He appears in the 1930 U.S. Census as an employee of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Bach married an American, with whom he had two daughters. More by this mapmaker...
Carmelo and Bauermann (1887 - 1938) was a publishing house established in Manila by Don Eulalio Carmel y Lakandula, an artist-engraver, and William Bauermann, a German lithographer and cartographer, who was working for the Bureau of Forestry at the time. The firm operated out of 2057 Azcarraga. The press soon became one of the leaders in modern printing in the Philippines. Carmelo's son, Alfredo Carmelo (the famous Filipino pilot) operated the firm until 1938. Learn More...
