Steinlen’s dairy advertisement for "Lait pur de la Vingeanne stérilisé," showing children and cats gathered around a bowl of milk. Steinlen turned even a milk ad into observed, affectionate street life — the same eye he brought to the Chat Noir. The cats are individually characterized, not decorative filler. The most ordinary errand, drawn like it mattered.

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.
