Reading the board

Each card shows the largest print the Met's file makes at 300 dpi without cropping — that's the sharpness you'd want for something you'll stand close to. The biggest file in this set isBathers, at 4,000 × 3,350 pixels: enough for a 13.3 × 11.2 in print at 300 dpi, or 26.7 × 22.3 in at poster sharpness.

The Met flags 5 of these as a collection highlight: Madame Cézanne (Hortense Fiquet, 1850–1922) in a Red Dress, Still Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses, Still-Life with a Watermelon and Pomegranates, The Card Players and Trees and Houses Near the Jas de Bouffan.

Every page has a size chart against standard frames, the museum record, and the frame and light that make a print look like it cost more than it did. The file itself is free. It always was.
