William Thomas Cox ( Bill Cox of Liverpool) was a father to son arrangment from 1887, until 1951, when the company finally closed it's doors. It has been suggested the the company was formed earlier in 1850, but no records exists to establish this claim.
Bill Cox specialised in sporting trohpies, cased birds and mammals and cased fish. The work is very similar to that of both H Murray of Carnforth and of course T Salkeld of Carnforth, but given the geographical location this is hardly surprising. Cox cases normally contained watercolour backdrops and his name / date was usually signed upon the watercolour. Cases alsso contained trade lables and also "acquistion" data of the specimen concerned located within the case itself.
Attention to detail is this taxidermist stock in trade. The taxidermy is well observed, correctly executed and normally the items are in summer plumage, as was the expectation and the day. Victorian collectors were legally allowed to shoot birds and animals regardless of the time of year and also collect eggs, practices which are thankfully both outlawed today.
We have seen flat fronted cases and glass sided cases produced by this taxidermist. We have not seen items in domes or wall hanging domes. The picture frame cases produced are very similar to the work produced by H Murray of Carnforth, but Murray used oils to create the backdrops and Cox has used watercolour. Both taxidermists are highly collectable.
