Cabinet des fées, ou, Collection choisie des contes des fées et autre contes merveilleux
A French fairy-tale anthology compiled by Charles-Joseph Mayer and published in Geneva in 1785, collected for readers of tales of enchantment. Its engraved plates show stage-like domestic interiors with figures in period dress, framed by a caption strip beneath, while the third image is a marbled endpaper in green, red, yellow and black that a designer could use as a texture.
