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, aimed at general readers of marvellous tales. The four pictures are small woodcut-style tailpieces and vignettes, including a basket of grapes, a thatched cottage beside trees, a beehive with wings and crossed horns, and a helmet with arrows and foliage, which suggest decorative borders, emblem motifs and rustic scenes a designer could adapt for ornament.
