The ticket

Sketchbook with views of Tours, France and its environs is a work on paper by Eugène Delacroix (French, Charenton-Saint-Maurice 1798–1863 Paris), dated 1828–29. Graphite and watercolor on wove paper. Size on the museum record: 36 folios, each sheet: 4 15/16 x 7 11/16 in. (12.5 x 19.5 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its Drawings and Prints collection — Gift of Alexander and Gregoire Tarnopol, 1969.

The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 3,902 × 2,499 pixels — 9.8 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 13 × 8.3 in. That is bigger than the work on paper itself, which measures about 7.7 × 4.9 in — the file holds more detail than you can see standing in front of the original.Works on paper are quiet. Print near the original’s size rather than blowing it up, mat it generously, and keep it out of direct sun — the same rules the museum follows for the real one.
