This photograph, “Figure 47: A suggestion of this same weeping,” is part of Guillaume Duchenne's groundbreaking series *Electro-physiologie photographique*, created between 1854 and 1856. Duchenne, a physician, used electrical stimulation to manipulate facial muscles and document their effects on expression. This image, one of over 60 in the series, shows a man with his face contorted by stimulation, capturing a unique and disturbing visual of human emotion.
