"The Tailor and the Fairy" is a lithograph by J. J. Grandville from 1836. The artwork depicts a humorous scene, likely inspired by a French fairy tale, where a tailor is shown in awe of a fairy adorned in a long, ornate dress. Grandville's signature style of caricature is evident in the exaggerated features and poses of the figures, contributing to the overall humorous tone. The artwork is part of "The Complete Works of Béranger", a collection of satirical illustrations that are often used to study the social commentary and artistic trends of the 19th century.
