A Church of Ireland clergyman, Brandon was energetic in his ministry and founded the first savings bank, established an abstinence society and also the Falkland Islands magazine, typesetting and printing it himself. He must have cut a distinctive figure riding tirelessly around his extensive parish, followed by a packhorse that carried his magic lantern and equipment to distant settlements. He returned to Ireland in 1907. The Misses Jameson, spinster sisters born in the 1890s, were related to Brandon's wife. Prior to retirement, Miss Nora Jameson was Secretary of the College of Nursing Club, Birmingham. The Indian photographs were almost certainly taken by her or her sister. ++A most interesting selection of unpublished images of Falkland Island life and scenery in the early 20th c.

He became a Fellow of the Geological Society of London in 1817 and was elected its president in 1847. He wrote several works on geology and was the mastermind behind the compilation of the Ordnance Survey map of Britain, begun in 1832. This medal was intended as a reward for the slaves working on the Halse Hall estate that De la Beche inherited from his father, a slave-owner. It was at Halse Hall that De La Beche wrote his geological survey of Jamaica and also published Notes on the then condition of the negroes. Neither Roehrs nor Brandon had an example of this medal in silver. See also the following lot. Whether any of these medals was actually awarded appears not to be recorded, they are nearly always found in excellent condition.
