- Courtesy of a famous map collector, Mr David Rumsey (David Rumsay Map
Collection), we have received permission to make available a
full set of scans for a "flagship" Prussian map, Karte des
Deutschen Reiches, in 1:100,000 scale. The sheets come from a rare, late
19th century edition of this map. The maps were professionally scanned and are
available via Mapster in full resolution (600 dpi), in two variants -
the original images, which show the sheets cut up and glued on a piece
of cloth, as well as in a "composite" variant, where individual segments
have been stitched in a graphic program. Please remember - the files are large (40 - 50 Mb), so the best way to get them is to right-click them with a mouse and "save as..." to your computer.
- We have also received a permission from another US map
collector, Mr Andrew Kapochunas (www.Lithuanianmaps.com)
to show his collection of pre-1939 maps, Latvian 1:75,000 and
Lithuanian 1:100,000 series. The scans are available in 300 dpi
(resolution they were scanned at).
The above-mentioned maps are available on the same, non-commercial
basis. We promise to forward inquiries related to potential commercial
application. Alternatively, you can contact the owners directly, via
web sitess mentioned above.
