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.

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
Frederick Henri Kay Henrion (April 18, 1914 - July 5, 1990) was a German-born British graphic designer prominent in the mid-20th century. Henrion was born Heinrich Fritz Kohn in Nurnberg, Germany, but later (in 1936) moved to England after studying poster design in Paris under the renowned artist Paul Colin (1892 - 1985). In England, he began to develop his unique identity and style as a graphic designer and designer of pavilions for trade shows and international expositions. During the Second World War, Henrion was initially interned on the Isle of Man as a citizen of an enemy nation, but his artistic skills were soon put to use, producing striking propaganda posters for the British Ministry of Information, as well as for the U.S. Office of War Information. After the war, Henrion worked as an art director at Contact Books before founding his own consultancy in 1951. In addition to continuing to design exposition pavilions, including for the 1951 Festival of Britain, he created a number of corporate identities for brands like KLM, British European Airways, and the National Theater. Additionally, Henrion worked as an art editor for several publications and taught at the Royal College of Art and later at the London College of Printing. Henrion's renown was such that he received the designation Royal Designer for Industry as well as the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE). More by this mapmaker...
