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.

Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack.

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
Jack Butler Yeats (August 29, 1871 - March 28, 1957) was an Irish artist and writer, significant in his own right, but often in the shadow of his older brother, the celebrated poet William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939). Born in London, England, Yeats was the youngest son of Irish portraitist John Butler Yeats. He spent his childhood in Sligo, Ireland, with his maternal grandparents, and returned to his parents' house London in 1887. Beginning in around 1920, Yeats became a Modernist and Expressionist painter. While not politically active Yeats was sympathetic to the Irish Republican Cause. After Ireland became a free state in 1922, he represented Ireland in the 'Arts and Culture Division' of the 1924 Paris Summer Olympics, winning a silver for his work 'Swimming.' Some consider him the most important Irish artist of the 20th century. He also worked in theatre and literature, writing his own plays, books, and poems. He died in Dublin in 1957. He was married to Mary Tottenham in 1894. More by this mapmaker...
