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
