      Resolution & print size

      The same free image in several sizes, each labelled with the largest print it still looks sharp at. Use it to avoid downloading a web thumbnail for a poster.

      Need a print-ready, high-resolution file?

      The free sizes above come straight from our catalogue image. For a poster, a book, an exhibition panel or any professional use, we prepare a much larger file by hand: our in-house imaging specialists retouch it manually — dust and cracks removed, colours matched to the original, fine detail restored — and deliver it by e-mail within 72 hours, with the licence that fits your use.

      • Manual retouching by our imaging experts, not an automatic upscale
      • Maximum resolution, ready to print at 300 dpi
      • Colour accuracy checked against the original artwork
      • Personal, presentation, website, publishing or marketing licence
      • Delivered by e-mail within 72 hours, free lifetime re-delivery
