Vintage map print — New York, 1870. Digital download; you print it.
Panoramic lithograph: The city of New York.
WHAT YOU GET — 5 JPEGs at 300 DPI
- 8x10 in (3.2 MB)
- 11x14 in (6.6 MB)
- 16x20 in (13.7 MB)
- 18x24 in (17.4 MB) — re-encoded q88, pixels unchanged
- 24x36 in (20.4 MB)
8x10, 11x14, 16x20, 18x24 are true 300 DPI from the original scan. 24x36 is enlarged to reach that size, which holds up framed but is not native resolution. I would rather tell you that than let you find out.
WHAT I ACTUALLY DID TO IT
The library scan arrived with the scanner surround still on it and a century of grey in the paper. I trimmed the surround, stretched the tone back to warm paper, and took one pixel of scanner speckle off — the buildings stay sharp, the age stays in.
HONEST ABOUT THE SOURCE
The original scan is a public-domain record from the Library of Congress Panoramic Maps collection. You could download it yourself for nothing. What you are paying for is the restoration and the sized, print-ready files — not access to the map.
HOW TO PRINT IT
Any print shop, any online printer, or at home. Ask for matte or a cotton rag if they offer it. The files are RGB at 300 DPI with the density tagged, so a shop will size them correctly without asking.
NOT INCLUDED
No physical item is shipped. No frame. This is a digital download.
