I've been trying to give this particular artwork an embossed look with details, but I'm falling short. This is what I have:

I have been placing the image on a plane as a bump map, but not getting the desired effect.

The image in green is what I'm looking for:

Does anyone have any ideas?

I would use a software like CrazyBump, Knald, or SmartNormal to create a normal map based on the image you have and add that to your material.

If you are using cycles you can run the normal map through a normal map node and plug that into your shaders.

Here's the result I got with SmartNormal. You could improve a lot by spending more time tweaking the settings, but it's a start.

Consider the Blender Compositor for your final image.

Image before compositing some contrast.

Image after compositing with more contrast.
