About the reproduction process.

We start with EXTEMELY detailed scans of the original maps.

The digital images were created by scanning the original map on a large-format flatbed scanner using a RGB (red-green-blue) 24-bit CCD color sensor (16.8 million colors).

Each raster image is then saved as a TIFF format file. These TIFF files average approximately 200 to 300 Megabytes and retain excellent detail.

The TIFF files are then enhanced using image processing software, we adjust brightness or contrast, removing any age yellowing as needed to restore the original color to as closely match the original map as possible, while still maintaing the look of an antique map.

Any imperfections in the original are generally retained so that the resulting image is as close to the original as is possible.

The results is a beautiful reproduction that retains the appearance and character of the original map that you would be proud to display.

The intent is to create a reproduction that is true in nature to an antique map while restoring as much of the original color as possible.
