title: Darwin sees the insane.
abstract: Charles Darwin's work on human and animal expression introduced this age-old problem into psychological study. Darwin's interest in the expression of the mentally ill led him to correspond with J. Crichton Browne, a young psychiatrist, who supplied him with detailed materials concerning the insane as well as photographs of them.
