Digital Map Information

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
Herman Brosius (April 8, 1851 - February 18, 1917) was a German-American bird's-eye view artist active in the late 19th century. Brosius was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he began his career as a wood carver for Matthews Brothers Furniture. His first bird's-eye views begin appearing around 1871, with his map of Darlington, Wisconsin. His corpus includes more than 60 maps, covering much of the United States, including cities in Louisiana, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. His twin brother Frederick 'Fritz' Brosius (April 8, 1851 - September 30, 1909) was a prominent lithographer closely associated with Milwaukee Lithographing and Engraving (fl. c. 1872 - 1920), founded by Henry Seifart (1852 - 19??). Brosius died in Chicago in 1917. More by this mapmaker...
