Vintage 19th Century Black and White Engraving

A detailed prompt for generating high-quality black-and-white engravings that resemble antique pen-and-ink illustrations from 19th-century books.

Prompt
A symmetrically composed black-and-white vintage engraving of a bearded man in a pullover hoodie with the hood raised and a backward snapback cap underneath. Frame only the head and upper chest against a plain off-white textured paper background. Style: detailed pen-and-ink etching with dense cross-hatching, tight parallel lines, and antique book illustration shading. The subject looks straight ahead with a calm, neutral expression. The cap's snap-closure band crosses the forehead, slicked-back hair shows above it, a full thick beard covers the lower face. Two drawstrings hang from the hoodie at the chest. Maintain strict bilateral symmetry, crop tightly like a classic engraved bust, and exclude all color, modern graphic elements, and background objects.
