A Fete at Bermondsey, Jorges Hoefnagle, 1575
The largest version of this that I have seen in a book is (perhaps necessarily) a detail and does not show the whole thing. It cuts off the last three people standing on the left and everyone past the first two girls with the big round cakes on the right. It's in The Horizon Book of the Elizabethan World by Lacey Baldwin Smith (New York: American Heritage Publishing Co., 1967), p. 146. The image is about a foot square.
The original painting is at Hatfield House, for those who'd like to write the Marquess of Salisbury to inquire.
If anyone finds a cheaper source for posters, please let me know! This is a fantastic image.
