John Brandard
Illustrations
The Queen and Prince Albert Polka
John Brandard (1812 – 15 December 1863) was an English lithographic artist. He designed many hundred illustrated title-pages for sheet music in what Michael Bryan judged "a pretty, though weak, style" (which is odd, considering John Brandard was 9 years old when Michael Bryan died). John Brandard was born at Birmingham, the second of three sons born to Thomas Brandard (d. 1830), engraver and copperplate printer, of Barford Street, Deretend, Birmingham, and his wife, Ann. His older brother was Robert Brandard. John Brandard was baptized on 13 March 1812 at St Martin's church in Birmingham. He began his career as an engraver, mainly of commercial designs. On 17 January 1833 he married Maria Chater at Edgbaston in Birmingham. They had five children, one of whom, Walter Robert Brandard (1842–1869), was also briefly a designer of sheet music covers. He worked in a lifelong partnership with the lithographic printers M. and N. Hanhart, for whom he produced designs for Louis-Antoine Jullien from 1844 until 1856, when Jullien was ruined following a fire which destroyed his entire stock of music.
