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.

George IV (George Augustus Frederick; 12 August 1762 - 26 June 1830) was king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Hanover from 29 January 1820 until his death. He had earlier served as The Prince Regent when his father, George III, suffered from a relapse into insanity from an illness that is now suspected to have been porphyria. The Regency, George's nine-year tenure as Prince Regent, which commenced in 1811 and ended with George III's death in 1820, was marked by victory in the Napoleonic Wars in Europe. George was a stubborn monarch, often interfering in politics, especially in the matter of Catholic emancipation, though not as much as his father. For most of George's regency and reign, Lord Liverpool controlled the government as Prime Minister. George is remembered largely for the extravagant lifestyle that he maintained as prince and monarch. By 1797 his weight had reached 17 stone 7 pounds (111 kg or 245 lb), and by 1824 his corset was made for a waist of 50 inches (127 cm). He had a poor relationship with both his father and his wife, Caroline of Brunswick, whom he even forbade to attend his coronation. He was a patron of new forms of leisure, style and taste. He commissioned architects John Nash to build the Royal Pavilion in Brighton and remodel Buckingham Palace, and Sir Jeffry Wyatville to rebuild Windsor Castle. He was largely instrumental in the foundation of the National Gallery, London and King's College London.

When the King went temporarily insane in 1788 William Pitt, the Tory Prime Minister, proposed a restricted Regency to protect the King's interests. The King's recovery three months later ended the 'Regency Crisis'. Pitt's Regency Bill was revived during the King's final illness. George was sworn Regent in 1811, crowned King in 1820 and ruled until 1830.
