Finding height/width of a graphic, while creating it?

Are there width and height variables associated with a graphic that I 
can read or access while I'm creating it? -- specifically the width and 
height that will be associated with that graphic after it is Exported as 
an EPS file?

Reason for asking is, I might like to put a tiny ID label in one of the 
corners of each graphic I create, using Text[] for example, that would 
give for example the graphics' name, date created, and dimensions.

Alternatively, is there a way to read the dimensions of a graphic after 
creating it, in the same notebook -- a function like

    GraphicDimensions[myGraphic]

so I could at least print the dimensions separately?

( ImageSize -> {width,height}*72  doesn't do what's needed.)
