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 isA Voluptuary Under the Horrors of Digestion, at 2,850 × 3,539 pixels: enough for a 9.5 × 11.8 in print at 300 dpi, or 19 × 23.6 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.
