EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Physiognomical examination" takes us back to the year 1876 in Paris, France. The image is a part of Guillaume-Benjamin-Armand Duchenne de Boulogne's renowned work, "Mecanisme de la Physionomie humaine ou analyse electrophysiologique des passions" which delves into the mechanism of human facial expression. In this thought-provoking photograph, we see a young female subject engrossed in prayer-like contemplation. Her oval face is illuminated by an experimental electrical stimulation conducted by Duchenne himself. As a French neurologist and pioneer in the field of experimental psychology, his aim was to understand the connection between emotions and physiology. The intensity of her gaze reflects both vulnerability and curiosity as she becomes a participant in this groundbreaking experiment. This self-portrait captures not only her physical appearance but also reveals glimpses of her innermost emotions. Duchenne's work had significant implications for various disciplines such as plastic surgery, neurology, and physiognomy. His findings challenged conventional beliefs about facial expressions and paved the way for further exploration into understanding human emotions. This intriguing photograph serves as a testament to Duchenne's dedication to unraveling the mysteries behind our outward appearances while offering us an intimate glimpse into one woman's journey through self-discovery.
