Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized. Every plate prints sharp at up to about 16 × 23 in at 300 dpi (the smallest plate; most go larger), so they suit wall art as well as A4, US Letter, A5 and smaller crafts. The plates are the original book pages, so shapes vary slightly.
