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 isGalileo, astonished by changes in the face of the earth, from "News of the Day", at 3,590 × 3,559 pixels: enough for a 12 × 11.9 in print at 300 dpi, or 23.9 × 23.7 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.
