About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man with a long beard and serious expression. He’s wearing a dark, ruffled collar shirt and looks like he’s holding a piece of paper or a small book in his left hand. Above his head, a curved banner reads *"Johannes Goodwins Theol. Canabrig. A. Atat."* Below him, there’s a block of old-style text in tiny letters. The image is made using tiny lines and shading—this is called *cross-hatching*. It’s a way to create depth without color, just by layering lines. Next, check out how engraving works to see how this print was made.
