Someone will probably shoot me down in flames but I was under the impression there was only 2 pictures of Marlburian soldiers from the actual time - both done by Marcellus Laroon the Younger - he joined the army in 1707 and fought in many campaigns. One sketch is partly shown below (Meldert camp) and the other is a colour picture of troops fording a river which I have poorly scanned a photocopy - the original is in the National Army Museum. Anyone know any more pictures? More of Laroon's military pictures at Flanderkin serjeant's blog

Not true pictures, but the Blenheim tapestries probably fit the description??
Also, I spotted this the other day while reading about Lord Peterborough's campaign in Spain...

I am enjoying the various paintings and prints that you are posting. Thanks!
