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 isThe Titan's Goblet, at 3,279 × 3,907 pixels: enough for a 10.9 × 13 in print at 300 dpi, or 21.9 × 26 in at poster sharpness.

The Met flags one of these as a collection highlight: View from Mount Holyoke, Northampton, Massachusetts, after a Thunderstorm—The Oxbow.

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.
