   Sure. Bremner's 'Instructions' has a drawing of a guittar, curiously
   with only three double strings and three single basses. Geminiani also
   has this image, but his guittar work was also published by Bremner. By
   the way, Bremner's son, also called Robert, studied guittar with
   Geminiani.

   There are also a few images in Edinburgh-based publications by various
   artists, but not guittar publications. Mainly violin or voice and
   continuo. Sorry I can't be more specific, but we are stretching my
   memory back about 20 years...

     I'm wondering if anyone knows if there are any depictions of English
     guittars -- either woodcuts or engravings -- from contemporary
     treatises or music books? I can't recall ever having seen any, but
     it
     doesn't mean they don't exist....
     I'm looking specifically for line-art -- something that is
     specifically NOT a painting.
     Thanks,
     Andrew
