Todd,
You are not likely to find any contemporary drawings. His biographers, 
Edmund and Dorothy Smith Berkeley ("The Life and Travels of John Bartram",
 Florida State University, Tallahasee, 1982), were only able to come up 
with two cartoons, one of which adorns the cover of the 1990 paperback.

The cartoons came from a February, 1880 article in Harper's "New Monthly 
magazine" titled "Bartram and his Garden."

Technically, Bartram was a British citizen, but this is the first time I 
have seen him so tagged. He is usually regarded as the first American 
botanist and horticulturalist.
