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
William Arthur Fishbaugh (June 20, 1873 - November 3, 1950) was an early 20th-century American photographer. Fishbaugh was born in Ohio but had flair for adventure. He worked as a mounted police officer in South Africa as early as 1895. It was there that he developed a passion for photography. He moved to the Philippines to capture the Spanish-American War on film. He also developed, at this time, a focus on architectural photography. Later he moved to Tampa, where he operated a photo studio at 506 Franklin Street for about 10 years. In 1917 he moved to Miami, where he worked closely with real-estate developers to photograph and promote land development. His work captures the pioneering days of Miami and south Florida. In addition to his urban landscapes, he documented agricultural scenes, local Seminole Indians, and the burgeoning aviation industry. His work provides an invaluable historical record of south Florida's rapid transformation during the early 1900s. More by this mapmaker...
