Explanation:

A comma should follow a dependent clause placed at the beginning of a sentence:

"In ancient times, silverpoint..."

Commas are also applied to include appositives. When the appositive is in the middle of a sentence there has to be a comma in both sides of the phrase:

"silverpoint, a traditional drawing technique, was employed"

We should place a comma before coordinating conjunctions that link two independent clauses, such as the word "and". However, if the second clause doesn´t have its subject, it´s not a clause so it doesn´t need a comma.
