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 Man Leaning on a Parapet, at 3,076 × 4,000 pixels: enough for a 10.3 × 13.3 in print at 300 dpi, or 20.5 × 26.7 in at poster sharpness.

The Met flags 4 of these as a collection highlight: Aman-Jean (Portrait of Edmond François Aman-Jean), Circus Sideshow (Parade de cirque), Study for "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" and Study for "Poseuses".

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.
