Etching, proof impression; sheet 425 x 275mm (16¾ x 10¾").
Unusual portrait of George III (1738-1820) in old age. The king's last public appearance was in 1810, a decade before his death, and was followed by a manic episode. His eyesight deteriorated until he was completely blind, and he was increasingly afflicted by deafness. Treatment was left in the hands of mad-doctors, with conventional physicians largely denied access to the king. A regency was declared in 1811, which saw the future George IV act as regent until his father's death. Of all the many portraits of George III published after his death, this is one of very few to depict the darkness of the king's final years.

Mr. Cox's Museum.
James Cox invt. Engraved by John Keyse Sherwin, Pupil of Mr. Bartolozzi for a Frontispiece to the Descriptive Inventory of Mr. Cox's Museum.
Publish'd according to Act of Parlt. Jany. 7, 1774. [Cox, London.]
Fine etching. 275 x 205mm (10¾ x 8"). Slight damage to top left corner. Small margins.
The etching shows a portrait in profile of King George III (1738 - 1820), in an oval, between elaborate and decorative supports featuring jewelled birds and fine instruments. It was the frontispiece to 'A Descriptive Inventory of the Several Exquisite and Magnificent Pieces of Mechanism and Jewellery, comprised in the schedule annexed to an Act of Parliament ... for enabling Mr. James Cox ... to dispose of his museum by way of lottery'. James Cox was a jeweller and toy maker who, from the mid-1760s, produced luxury articles for trade with the Far East. Cox had been exhibiting automata since at least 1769, and he would hold exhibitions prior to the export of his pieces. He made an application to Parliament to sell the contents of his 'Museum' in 1773. He planned to sell the Museum by Lottery exhibiting his jewelled automania throughout. Cox's Museum attracted visitors, including James Boswell and Dr.Johnson. While Cox's name is on these pieces he would have had to depend on skilled craftsmen to produce the elaborate exhibition pieces that can now be seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A spectacular survivor of Cox's Museum is a Peacock that was taken to St. Petersburg in 1781 and is now in the Hermitage.
