Biographical history
John Hamilton Smyly, born on December 30, 1924, died on August 19, 2002, was a craftsman, carver, writer, artist, and photographer. He worked at the Provincial Museum from 1965 to 1988 and was best known for his meticulously detailed models. John began model-making as a hobby in his early teens and developed it into a fine art all the rest of his life. He worked in shipyards and the aircraft industry duringthe War, and went on to wood-working in various factories around Victoria. Exposure to asbestos over the years resulted in cancer taking his life in his 78th year.
