Percy Smith Cox (circa 1872 – February 24, 1911) was an American photographer who worked in pre-revolutionary Mexico at the beginning of the twentieth century.
[10] He sold his photo-engraving business in Mexico City to the owners of the Mexican Herald,[13] and apparently abandoned his career as a photographer.
In 1910, he opened a dealership in San Diego selling Lane steamer automobiles,[14] then worked in the photographic supply business in Los Angeles.
[10] 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.
[22] Works by Cox & Carmichael are included in the Collection of Southern California and Mexico Photographs of the Huntington Library.
