Beautiful.
I'll bet the poor bast*rd who executed all that stippling was near batshit crazy by the time he finished.

It's in 303 savage. Yip I'll bet that stippling was done before micro pneumatics too! I wonder if there's any hidden pictures in all those pin pricks, like the etching on Camel cigarette packs...tiny portrait of Enoch's children maybe?
PS, I'll volunteer to spend some generous time looking for hidden pictures in any of your stippled 1899's!!
