Cabinet des fées, ou, Collection choisie des contes des fées et autre contes merveilleux
Cabinet des fées is a 1785 collection of fairy tales compiled by Charles-Joseph Mayer and printed in Geneva by Barde and Manget for a general reading public. Its copperplate engravings show costumed figures in theatrical interiors and garden scenes, with a dramatic, stagey staging a designer could borrow for narrative compositions, and the fourth image is a marbled endpaper pattern of green, red and cream swirls with white spots.
