Thanks Stephen. Yes, I do have the original, and I am working with a 
flatbed scan. I don't think rotating the original will help, since the 
engraved lines run in various directions. There is no dot screen here, 
only hand-engraved lines on end-grain boxwood. Did you look at the image 
on the web page I linked to? -- you can enlarge it to see the engraved 
lines.
