In Mecanisme de la Physionomie Humaine, the great
nineteenth-century French neurologist Duchenne de Boulogne combined
his intimate knowledge of facial anatomy with his skill in
photography and expertise in using electricity to stimulate
individual facial muscles to produce a fascinating interpretation
of the ways in which the human face portrays emotions. This book
was pivotal in the development of psychology and physiology as it
marked the first time that photography had been used to illustrate,
and therefore "prove," a series of experiments. Duchenne's book,
which contained over 100 original photographic prints pasted into
an accompanying Album, was rare, even when it first appeared in
1862. Duchenne was a superb clinical neurologist and in this study
he applied his enormous experience in neurological research to the
question of the mechanism of human facial expression. Duchenne has
been little cited and little known in this century; his book has
been virtually unobtainable, and copies are available in only a few
libraries in the United States and Europe.
