From the NYPL Digital Gallery Web site's FAQ's:

The low-resolution images available on the website are suitable for
immediate printing or downloading to provide good-quality reference copies
for a wide range of educational, creative, and research purposes.
High-resolution images are available for licensing for personal use and for
professional reproduction through Photographic Services & Permissions.

From the NYPL Press Release,  http://www.nypl.org/press/digitalgallery.cfm


     "Once materials have been located, they can be viewed in three sizes
     and may be downloaded free of charge for personal use. Photographic
     prints of any images featured online may also be ordered, for a fee,
     from the Library's Photographic Services Department. The Library's
     Permissions Department arranges all use of NYPL images for publication,
     in film, on TV or the Internet."

Look at the fine print, it costs $30 per image for personal use.
