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
Dr. Henry Washington Dodge (June 3, 1859 - June 30, 1919.) was an American Doctor, Banker, San Francisco City Assessor, and Titanic survivor. Born in Sonora, he attended the University of California, entering in 1881 and earned a medical degree in 1884. He would go on to join he Medical Department’s faculty with the title of Professor of Therapeutics. He left academia to become city assessor for San Francisco, a position he held 14 years. During his tenure there he oversaw the 1902 production of the Index Map of the City and County of San Francisco, the one cartographic work with which we are aware of his involvement. Dodge remained with the assessor's office, surviving the 1906 earthquake and fire. In 1912 he with his wife and son visited France in order to receive treatment for a blood disease. After treatment, the Dodge family returned... on board RMS Titanic. After helping his wife and son into lifeboat 5, Washington was fortunate enough to escape in lifebloat 13. Upon his return, Dr. Dodge quit the Assessor’s office and went to work as a banking executive, and later with the Federal Telegraph Company. Despite these apparent successes, Washington suffered a nervous breakdown and shot himself in the elevator of his apartment building. More by this mapmaker...
