You could try filters->distort->engraving, but I have had very little success with it because it does not follow the image. With a lot of effort you could rotate different parts of the image and apply the filter, and then join the parts by hand-drawing, I expect. If you look very closely at money in a country where the money is hard to forge (not the US :-)) you'll see the engraver's lines are sometimes actually made of lines of really tiny text, too. An alternative is to find an engraved portrait and modify it a little, e.g. see http://www.fromoldbooks.org/?kw=portraits for some old engraved faces on my Web site.
