The Cutting Out of La Chevrette (Bristol Museum and Art Gallery)
If we can't get the cutting-out of La Chevrette, maybe we can get this:
National Army Museum

Also, if it wasn't specifically mentioned before:
Royal Marines' Museum, ref 11/19/93 - although I think the RMM one is a different actual poster; the image above is from the War of 1812

The Hero of Trafalgar by W.H. Overend
If by any chance we could possibly trace who the artist is, this'd be a nice representation of Marines ashore (I think it's likely to be a recruiting party at a billet, or something like it.)
Another couple it might be worth adding to the coloured photos section (these and 'In Irons for Getting Drunk are both at the NMM - they've got a lot of the pics we'd like to use)
Pics I'd like to include in the colour prints section...
In the collection of the NMM:
Annotated 'Seamen relaxing on the Pallas', I believe they're off-duty Marines in their forage/off-watch caps. This may have been drawn on the 'Pallas's transatlantic leg from Africa (whence they sailed on 4 April 1775) to Barbados. The view is almost certainly on the starboard side of the main-deck forward hatch, under the companionway, with the starboard anchor cable going down to the tier below. From his apparent headgear the seaman shown and the man seated on a sea chest with a tankard in his hand, far right, are probably Marines. The man in the centre is sewing an item of clothing. See also PAJ2031 which appears to show the port side of the hatchway.

The Boarding of La Chevrette by de Loutherbourg, 1801
The Death of Nelson by Denis Dighton (RN Museum? NMM? Not 100% sure who owns the actual painting!)
In Irons for Getting Drunk by George Cruikshank (Again, who owns the copyright/an actual copy we can use, I dunno!)
A copy of an RM attestation form from TNA (whose, exactly, is yet to be determined!)
