Thanks to Amalyah and Diane for the helpful replies! Amalyah, I love how you get 250x300 = 300x300. Turning vagueness to your advantage.

We take the position that this is fundamental information analogous to the information in the caption; it just happens to be visual. In addition, at that size, we can serve the fair use rights of students and researchers, (Note: not all countries have Fair Use provisions in their copyright laws.) As for your question about square works of art: I would interpret 250 x 300 as "300 on the longest side." That is, 300 x 300 for a square image.
