Edward Penfield’s cover for *Collier’s*, captioned with the only word golf has contributed to the language. Penfield invented the American poster style, and the house already hangs his 1899 calendar — this is the mature version of the same hand. The palette is four colours and none of them are subtle. That is the whole craft. One shouted syllable, understood on every continent.

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.
