This is a line engraving on copper plate. Each little line and dot has to be engraved individually, one at a time with a cutting tool called a burin. Not fun to do if you are not completely crazy and plan to spend 150 hours or more on such a small surface. The result may come out flat when you print the result of your love's labor.
For any and all priggish grammar buffs, do not let my use of prepositions and dangling participles shock you. I have this Churchillian nugget for thee: "This is the sort of pedantry up with I will not put." Amen~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fug //[fuhg] –noun: stale air, esp. the humid, warm, ill-smelling air of a crowded room, kitchen, etc.
[Origin: 1885–90; of obscure orig.; cf. earlier Brit. slang fogo stench]

and it is Art in its own right.
150hours on such detail would make ME crazy - glad you are(?) still sane.
