A See America travel poster for Fort Marion National Monument, St. Augustine, Florida — the same 1938 WPA/NPS series as the Yellowstone and Grand Canyon pieces. The Ranger Naturalist Service sold every kind of public land the same way: a Spanish colonial fort got the identical confident flat-ink treatment as a wilderness park. The fort’s star-shaped bastion walls reduced to a single hard-edged silhouette. History and wilderness, sold from the same print shop.

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.
