~120 yo home: How to fix cracks in plaster ceiling?

In 2024, I bought a very well-maintained house originally built in 1902. Old house, beautiful inlaid hardwood floors, lots of original work.

Took a week of PTO from work and decided I was going to do a few small fixes. Anyone have good advice for cracks in ceiling plaster? Not an expert by any means, but the cracks look to me to be due to age rather than structural concerns. How would I go about fixing/filling in order to prep for a paint job?⁸
