Smiling' Heliotype illustration of expressions from 'The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals' by Charles Darwin,1872. This was one of the first books to be illustrated with photographs – with seven heliotype plates. The publisher John Murray warned that photographs "would poke a terrible hole in the profits" and so the heliotype was chosen as a photomechanical process that could reproduce photographs direct on the page (without mounting actual photographs). Darwin wanted to show the animal origins of human expression and emotion to show that decent was likely. He saw photography as a tool for accurately capturing brief expression. Here he illustrates the facial muscles used when smiling and laughing. He used (with permission) the photographs of others. Photographs 1 and 3 were taken by Rejlander,2 by Wallich,and the remainder come from Duchenne | |
