施塔福是美國人，1909年攜同妻兒遠渡重洋到上海，於上海商務印書館專職攝影和印刷。憑此身份，施塔福得以到中國各地拍攝照片。1911年武昌首義，舉世注目，傳媒記者爭分奪秒記錄驚鴻一瞥的歷史時刻，具有攝影師敏銳觸角的施塔福先生當然亦不例外。從武漢到上海，包括湖北軍政府的成立、革命軍與清軍的激戰、漢口大火、南北和談，以至孫中山先生赴寧就任臨時大總統等歷史瞬間，都一一被施塔福攝入鏡頭。這輯60多幀的珍貴歷史照片，記錄了清末民初的民生面貌和重要歷史時刻，見證中華民國的誕生。當中特別對革命軍與清軍在漢口(古稱夏口)和漢陽的四十多天戰事(史稱陽夏戰爭)記錄尤詳，是研究辛亥革命不可多得的寶貴影像資料。

Francis Eugene Stafford was an American who in 1909 moved with his wife and son to Shanghai to work as a photographer and printer for the Commercial Press. By virtue of his profession, Stafford gained access to many different parts of China. The Wuchang Uprising of 1911 was an epoch-making event in modern Chinese history that captured the attention of the world’s media, and many reporters lost no time in going to Wuhan to record the events taking place there; as a professional photographer, Stafford was no exception. During the 1911 Revolution, Stafford took numerous pictures of scenes from Wuhan to Shanghai, including the establishment of the Hubei Military Government, the confrontation between revolutionary and imperial troops, the burning of Hankou, the peace conference between the Qing Government and the independent provinces, as well as Dr Sun Yat-sen leaving Shanghai for Nanjing to assume the provisional presidency. This series of some 60 photos records not only important episodes in the late Qing and early Republican periods but also people’s lives during that era, and they thus paint an exceptional backdrop to the founding of the Republic of China. The combat between the revolutionary and imperial armies at Hankou and Hanyang, which lasted more than 40 days, is particularly well documented in Stafford’s photos, making this collection a valuable visual account of the 1911 Revolution.
