Actually most of Weston's mature work, including virtually all of his best 
known photographs, was done with an 8x10 camera.  While he made smaller 
prints early in his career, beginning with his trip to Mexico in the 
mid-1920s and thereafter until his death almost everything he did was 8x10. 
He used a 4x5 camera for some of the nudes in the mid-1930s and for some 
portraits during that period but almost all of Weston's mature work was 
8x10.  Take a look at the prints from the mid-1920s and thereafter in the 
book "Edward Weston - Life Work" and you'll see very little smaller than 
8x10.

Perhaps worth remembering, if memory serves me correctly, is that
virtually all of the prints made by
Edward Weston were contact prints usually smaller than the 8 X 10's we
have come to view as "standard."

I doubt there is anyone that would denigrate a Weston original as being
"too small."
