Images of taverns, public houses and the average ordinary

Someone out there gave me a link for an image of an Ordinary a few years back. It was a drawing of people under a canvas canopy that was in amongst the trees. I am NEED of that image.

I will take any images that you would like to share also.

Thanks

I did a google search for 18th century taverns, there are lots of images there, I don't have enough time to search them all, but here is the link:

and I did 17th century too, found this outdoor one:

Hope you find the one you need.

What is that game they are playing with the post and the balls? It seems sort of like Bocce, though Bocce doesn't use a post.

Looks like a variant of bowls but using a post rather n a jack, closest to the post gets the points. I've seen a muddyevil version were they are bowling at a feather stuck in the ground.

Lambourne! Lambourne! Stop that man pissin' on the hedge, it's imported.

I may have to appropriate the balls from the bocce court and have a go at it. Like the feather idea. Thanks!

Do you remember anything else, like wether it was English or Dutch? I've done some digging in the Dutch Genre book but not a tavern so far like that (dentists, however, seem pretty fly-by-night).

Was the pic among those links posted earlier?
