“Art Glossary: 'A' Paper Sizes”

Definition: 'A' size or 'A' series is a set of paper sizes established by the
International Standards Organization (ISO) that ranges from 2A0 (the largest) to
A7 (the smallest). The size of the paper goes down as the number goes up, and
each is half the size of the previous e.g. two A4 sheets make up an A3 piece and
two A5 sheets make up an A4 sheet.
