At a very first glance, I see that this is an indexed image with a color depth of just 1-bit. This effect can be achieved by dithering the image. One (quick) way to do it would be: 1.) Convert the image to greyscale. 2.) Optimize it (remove background etc.) 3. Increase the contrast as much as possible, without losing the details you would like to keep. 4.) Convert the image from greyscale to indexed with 2 colors (black and white). Set the options 'Use a black and white (1-bit) palette' and 'Dithering > Color Dithering > Floyd-Steinberg (reduced color bleeding)'. You may not get all the subtle details included in your example (this 'copperplate engraving' effect), but at least that's a start. Maybe there is some plug-in for the Gimp available.
