I think this series of photos was also used in Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.

Duchenne en sus experimentos de electroestimulacion, se dio cuenta que las verdaderas sonrisas involucran musculos de los ojos, lo que nos permite darnos cuenta de las sonrisas falsas de las personas, las cuales no lo presentan.
