A few additional resources:
  • Sites like the NYPL Digital Gallery allow you to customize where you want the image cropped when you're ordering a print. Or, for $75 they will sell you a digital copy (for personal use only, of course) instead of a print, so you can crop/customize/resize it as you wish and then have it printed yourself.
  • An affordable online source for art printing (they use good, matte paper) is zazzle.com.
