Hohenstein’s poster for Catalani’s La Wally, published by Ricordi. A second Hohenstein piece lets the Ricordi collection show the house style before Tosca, not just at its most famous moment. The alpine setting rendered with the same theatrical lighting Hohenstein later brought to Tosca’s Rome. The house style, already fully formed.

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.
