Джон С. Смит (анг. John S. [Shaw?] Smith; 1921-2010) - британский художник-маринист, плакатист, иллюстратор. Кристофер Дикс в своей книге "История пассажирского лайнера в открытках" (A Postcard History of the Passenger Liner by Christopher Deakes. Mystic Seaport Museum, 2005) сообщает, что Джон С. Смит получил образование художника-графика, во Вторую мировую войну служил в Королевском флоте, затем хорошо отслеживается, что он работал как плакатист, станковый живописец и неоднократно публиковался в периодических изданиях. Особо хочу отметить иллюстрации Джона С. Смита в познавательном еженедельнике для юношества "Лук энд лёрн' (анг. Look and Learn; рус. Смотри и учись) и его приложениях, где потенциал художника, как опытного иллюстратора-рассказчика и лектора-моряка, раскрылся с небывалой до того силой.
