Le cabinet des fées is a 1785 French collection of fairy tales and other marvellous stories, edited by Charles-Joseph Mayer, with plates by Clément Pierre Marillier, printed in Geneva and sold in Paris for a general readership. The pictures include a full-page engraved tableau of a turbaned figure grasping a bird in a arched chamber, and small vignettes of a stone bridge over water, a fortified gateway with towers, and a farmhouse with a cart beside a figure holding a long pole, all rendered in fine line work that suggests simple scene-setting devices for narrative borders and tailpieces.
