Cox was born in Islington and studied at Whitechapel People’s Palace and then the London College of Printing. Having worked as an assistant to Frank Brangwyn, and as a designer for a manufacturing chemist, he became a mural and poster designer. Elected to the Royal Society of British Artists in 1915, commissions came from London Underground, the Empire Marketing Board and others. He also illustrated books – mostly historical and heroic adventures.
