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 isMrs. James Pulham Sr. (Frances Amys, ca. 1766–1856), at 3,230 × 3,858 pixels: enough for a 10.8 × 12.9 in print at 300 dpi, or 21.5 × 25.7 in at poster sharpness.

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.
