The Birth of a Republic: Francis Stafford’s Photographs of China’s 1911 Revolution and Beyond
By Hanchao Lu
University of Washington Press, 2010, 240 pages, US$40.00
Photographs of people taking photographs of other people are fairly common, but those of people sitting on top of or emerging from a camera are indeed rare and unusual. A nearly two-page spread (pp. 180-181) in this delightful and important book records the young male staff of Shanghai’s Commercial Press draped over and around, and even exiting from, a huge real or faux camera, and includes the photographer himself, the American Francis Stafford.
