E. W. Cocks
E. W. Cocks (fl. 1828 – 1837) was a British painter employed as a scenic artist at Vauxhall Gardens. He is now known for his paintings of balloon ascents.
==Dioramas==
Large-scale painting was an innovation at Vauxhall Gardens tried in 1823, with a 24 metre high picture of the Bay of Naples as an attraction, used as background for a firework display. In 1828 Cocks showed a six-picture diorama at Vauxhall Gardens, on the River Rhine. He presented also a "Hydroptic Exhibition" at the Gardens, in a tradition of elaborate water features set by R. Morris, who worked for the stage with Charles Dibdin the younger. Involving fire as well as water, it was an allegory of naval supremacy. Advertising for the season's opening that year included "The Scenery, with various paintings and many New Cosmoramas, dispersed about the Gardens, by Mr. Cocks and Assistants."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Project Gutenberg's The True History of Tom and Jerry'', by Charles Hindley )〕
In 1834 the Gardens celebrated the return of the second Ross expedition with a display including allegorical icebergs, advertised as "Principal Artist:Mr. Cocks, Principal Machinist:Mr. Lowe".〔Russell A. Potter, ''Icebergs at Vauxhall'', Victorian Review Vol. 36, No. 2, Natural Environments (Fall 2010), pp. 27–31, at pp. 28–30. Published by: Victorian Studies Association of Western Canada.

Facing financial difficulties, Frederick Gye sold Vauxhall Gardens in 1840. In 1841 was advertised a cosmorama of "the Embarkation of the Body of Napoleon" and "the Bombardment of Acre" painted by "Mr. Cocks". It was at the Royal Gallery of Practical Science, Adelaide Street, London. Known as the Adelaide Gallery, this early technology museum had been set up in 1832, by a group including Jacob Perkins and Thomas Telford.
