Carried Off By Arabs!

I found this 1846 Paperback for sale on Delcampe.....

HISTOIRE D’UNE JEUNE VIVANDIÈRE DE L’ARMÉE D’AFRIQUE
                        Tombée au pouvoir des Arabes

"STORY OF A YOUNG VIVANDIERE of the ARMY OF AFRICA"

                   " Fallen into the hands of the Arabs"

Was it an adventure book or pornography?

I can't buy it and I don't read French but it's here at a bid of 15.00 € ± $ 19.50

Some illustrations near the title page. They don't appear to go with the story.


Reminds me of an earlier post about Cantinieres in North Africa.......
