Maud S. and Aldine stand paired in harness to William H. Vanderbilt's wagon at Morrisania, two celebrated trotting mares matched stride for stride. Vanderbilt was as well known for his fast road horses as for his railroads, and Currier & Ives sold the pairing itself — his money, these two record mares, moving as one — as the picture's whole appeal. the identical set of the two mares' knees at the same point in the stride. Even a fortune has to keep time.

Before a size goes on sale, the file is measured against it: pixels per inch at that size, how much of the picture a crop would lose, tone and sharpness. A size that fails is not offered, so there is nothing to choose wrong.
