Printing this set

Many of these are wide landscapes. Wide files crop heavily into a stock frame, so look for the mat option before ordering.

The largest scan in this set is Still Life: Fish by William Merritt Chase, at 3,903 × 3,470 pixels (13.5 MP): 13 × 11.6 in at 300 dpi, or 26 × 23.1 in at poster sharpness. Every file links to the museum's own CC0 original, and every page has a size chart against standard frames.

Not sure what fits your wall? The wall fitter sizes a frame to your furniture and shows which of these works fill it with or without a mat.
