Self-portrait of Coke Smyth, 1846

John Richard Coke Smyth (1808-1882) was an artist and traveller. Smyth produced a few collections of prints from his travels. A few works arose out of a visit to Constantinople where he collaborated with the noted Orientalist painter, John Frederick Lewis to produce several works on Turkey and Constantinople.

In 1838, he accompanied John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham to Lower Canada as the drawing master to his daughter, Lady Mary Louise Durham (who later married James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin) and to Katherine Ellice, a noted British diarist.[1] He produced another book of his travels, Sketches in the Canadas[2]. The book had 23 illustrations that explored life in the Canadas at the time, including many glimpses of aboriginal people.

After his return to England, he worked on the illustrations for another book, titled Souvenir of the bal costume : given by her most gracious majesty Queen Victoria, at Buckingham Palace, May 12, 1842. The book was created to commemorate a ball given by Queen Victoria in 1842.
