context_page_description: Percy Smith Cox was an American photographer who worked in pre-revolutionary Mexico at the beginning of the twentieth century.
context_section_description: Cox was among a group of expatriate photographers (such as fellow San Diegans Carmichael and C. B. Waite) working in Mexico in the first decade of the 20th century, chronicling industrialization and social conditions. Cox’s subjects included railroads, bridges, mines, and landscapes. His works illustrated magazine articles,  and books,  and were reproduced as postcards.
  Many of Cox’s photographs are included in collections such as the Eugene P. Lyle, Jr. Photographs, University of Oregon; the DeGolyer Library, Southern Methodist University; and the California Border Region Digitization Project of the San Diego History Center. Works by Cox & Carmichael are included in the Collection of Southern California and Mexico Photographs of the Huntington Library. Many also appear in published works.
  While Cox was considered a fine photographer by contemporaries, recent criticism has focused on Cox's work as representative of American cultural imperialism in Mexico.
  A number of Cox’s photographs have been attributed incorrectly to Percy B[oxley] Cox (1875-1946).
