managed to find it...thanks for the page number!

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.
