Pyrrhus the First stands in profile, groomed to a shine, painted at the moment his name was worth painting. Herring's business was catching a season's champion at the top of his value; a horse whose fame rode on one great result still needed the record kept properly. the single white sock, the one mark Herring lets the eye rest on before it moves to the whole animal. One good year was enough to earn a wall.

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.
