The greatest jockey of the Victorian turf, admitted to Vanity Fair’s gallery of the notable at the height of his reign. When the magazine caricatured you, England had agreed on you; in 1881 it agreed on Archer. The whip held like a scepter — the caricaturist conceding the crown. Small men, large kingdoms.

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.
