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 isTakiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre, at 7,139 × 3,550 pixels: enough for a 23.8 × 11.8 in print at 300 dpi, or 47.6 × 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.
