I'll note the drawn line begins following a circle but morphs slowly
to an oval.

Do you mean those places (e.g. in the beard) where the line width
varies to indicate that ****tion is darker? This is similar to the
halftone process which has been around conceptually since the 1850's
and commercially since the turn of the 19th/20th centuries. I can see
no reason to assume it was done after the line was drawn, IOW it could
easily have been done on the fly.

It's beautiful. ISTR some attempts in that era to transmit images
electrically by spirally scanning them with an early photocell, then
reproducing the with an electrically-valved ink pen. Sort of a
Steampunk SpiroFax.
