Been looking for the playing cards by Robert Spofforth celebrating Churchill's successes - as that's another contemporary depiction of troops from the time - there's some here where you can buy posters - this image of Tallard being taken prisoner back to England is interesting in its depiction of English grenadiers. You can buy facsimile packs of this set of cards here . Ideal for card-based WSS games methinks.

VERY good sourse! Thanks for that, Ralph.
Another period depiction of English grenadier can be found in a pront "English General eternized" ca 1706
