The ticket

Cover Design for "Les Vieilles Histoires" is a print by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, Albi 1864–1901 Saint-André-du-Bois), dated 1893. Hand-colored lithograph. Size on the museum record: Sheet: 18 1/16 in. × 24 in. (45.8 × 61 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its Drawings and Prints collection — Bequest of Nanette B. Kelekian, 2020.

The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 4,000 × 3,024 pixels — 12.1 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 13.3 × 10.1 in. The print itself measures about 24 × 18 in, so a true life-size print runs below 300 dpi — still sharp at normal viewing distance.Line work lives or dies on contrast. Print it on a smooth, bright paper and give it a wide mat: small graphic work drowns in a thin frame and a big empty border makes it look like it came out of a print room drawer.
