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 isSunrise, at 4,000 × 3,054 pixels: enough for a 13.3 × 10.2 in print at 300 dpi, or 26.7 × 20.4 in at poster sharpness.

The Met flags 3 of these as a collection highlight: Perseus and the Origin of Coral, Queen Esther Approaching the Palace of Ahasuerus and The Trojan Women Setting Fire to Their Fleet.

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.
