The fact that Prévost’s rapprochement was made only tentatively, and that the critic himself pointed out that, in the wake of Vesalius’s work, many other anatomical depictions of skeletons were published, has largely been ignored.

Poetry, image, and post-Napoleonic politics: Baudelaire’s “Le Squelette laboureur” 4The drawing had no title, but the description contained in the 1790 version of the work (re-named Le Triomphe de la mort), in which the engravings, based on the original woodcuts, were by Wenceslaus Hollar15, entitled it “La Condamnation au travail”16, thereby presenting a still more obvious link with “Le Squelette laboureur”17.

Likewise, although the reference in the fourth quatrain to vertèbres and muscles dépouillés represents a renewed point of contact with the perspective of anatomical drawing, Baudelaire’s skeletons are also suggestive of other, non-medical perspectives.

Dans les planches d'anatomie Qui traînent sur ces quais poudreux Où maint livre cadavéreux Dort comme une antique momie, 17Leaving aside the question of dominant political affinity attributed to the soldat laboureur, it was inevitable that the idealized nature of the figure should attract derision in certain quarters, beginning, albeit in a mild form, with Charlet himself, who maintained with reference to examples of his own work: «J’entends un railleur dire au public: ‘n’achetez donc pas ce cahier de croquis, c’est encore un soldat-laboureur’»59.

Léon Brice reveals that the French police regarded the latter as a dangerous hothead and conspirator and argues, with reference to the involvement of the convicted pirate and Bonapartist Jean Lafitte, that the idealist tenor of the Champ d’Asile propaganda was a front for Lallemand’s desire to mount an expedition to ‘spring’ Napoleon from Saint-Helena (see Les Espoirs de Napoleon, Paris, Payot, 1938, chapters 24 and 25). “Les Hiboux” and “La Pipe” […] have an emblematic quality, which in turn becomes a theme of “Le Squelette laboureur”» (R.
