Two Fishes tied together by their tails — Venus and her son Cupid, who leapt into the river as fish to escape the monster Typhon, binding themselves with a cord so as not to lose one another. Last sign of the zodiac, and the point where the Sun now crosses at the spring equinox. (For those born about February 19 – March 20.)

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.
