(The following may relate to this George Cook.)
From www.philaprintshop.com:
"Fall of Montmorenci." From John Pinkerton's A General Collection of the Best and Most Interesting Voyages and Travels. London: Longman, Hurst, Ross, Orme & Brown, 1812. 5 1/4 x 7 7/8. Engraving by George Cook. Short repaired tear in bottom margin.
An interesting view of the Falls of Montmorency from an early nineteenth century travel volume, Pinkerton's General Collection. The images in this work, engraved by George Cook, are mostly based on original images. This shows the falls falling into the river, in which a sailing ship is moored. This ship probably brought the tourists shown at the bottom of the engraving, giving a sense of scale to the scene. $125

Unknown After George Cook. "View of West Point From Above Washington Valley," 1835, Oil, West Point Museum

From http://www.unc.edu/student/orgs/di_phi/reference_desk/docs/intro_1943.htm:
Judge Gaston's portrait is a poor copy, by Bogle after George Cook; that of Elisha Mitchell is the work of a man more distinguished as an engraver than a portraitist in oil--Nathaniel Jocelyn--and while in many ways charming, lacks the force and grandeur with which the subject should have impressed the artist; while the third, that of King, which is an original by George Cook, by no means approaches the quality of the portrait of President Hooper of Wake Forest painted by the same hand. This latter is really from a technical standpoint, of exquisite quality. Cook who was born in Maryland in 1793 studied abroad, where, as we can see, he acquired a facility with the brush second to none in this country.
