Hello everyone,

I am a still new at the map librarian game and am not sure how to assist
a professor in publishing a couple of Renaissance and one 17th century
maps.  The three maps are listed below, along with sources of the
publications where he viewed the maps.

I realize the original maps are no longer in copyright, but how does one
acquire images of the map in order to reprint them in a publication?

Any advice would be appreciated,
