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 and published in Geneva and Paris. The engraved plates show costumed courtly and domestic scenes with dense hatching, framed by French captions, and a designer might take their theatrical staging, layered drapery and crowded interiors as models for period narrative illustration; the final image is a small engraved basket of grapes used as a tailpiece.
