description There being innumerable photographic collections in anthropological institutions and in researchers’ private archives, the article aims to shed light on one singular dimension of French ethnology’s historical relationship with this medium. Besides the photographic documentary uses, which led to an intense production and accumulation of images from the late 19th century, several forms of visual exhibition were also used within the discipline. Drawing on the case of the Musée de l’Homme, the article seeks to emphasise the way photographs were used in ambitious exhibitions and their role in illustrated presentations. Observing and analysing these practices helps to understand the visual context anthropologists had to deal with, to define the potential uses of their images, as well as the cultural and visual systems of reference to which they adapted.
