Archery in Finsbury Fields, Headpiece to "Robin Hood and the Ranger"

from: A Lytell Geste of Robin Hode with Other Ancient & Modern Ballads and Songs Relating to this Celebrated Yeoman (P. 272) -  1847
Additional Information:
The ballad "Robin Hood and Queen Katherine" references Finsbury Field.  Gutch has added a note on page 175 which claims that the Field is a "[g]round near Moorfields, London, famous in old times for the archery practised there," and lists historical references to the location.
