專家說明

Joseph Gilstrap Branston (1838-1926) was a notable figure and member of the financial élite of maltsers in Newark, Nottinghamshire. Branston's local prominence is notable in the commissioning of this portrait, he often declared 'My hobby has always been town improvements for the good of us all' (see P. Reed, loc. cit.).
