Diablerie (English: devilries) is a genre of French satire, often by extreme exaggeration. The term diablerie stems from diable, which is French for devil.

Eugène le Poitevin is famous for his Les Diableries Erotiques.
Paul Gavarni also produced 'Diableries' for La Caricature.
Dioramas
Les Diableries is the title of a series of stereoscopic photographs published in Paris during the 1860s. The photographs, commonly known as stereoviews, portray sculpted clay vignettes which depict scenes of daily life in Hell. Much of the subject matter was satirical and mirrored the corruption and excess of Paris during the Second Empire. Napoleon III’s authoritarian rule was repeatedly the subject of criticism, as was the decadent lifestyle of the bourgeoisie.
