  1. I recently acquired a water colour by John Cotton entitled Grand Teton Mountains. It appears to be in the original frame and on the back is his signature and the title in ink on brown paper, It is app. 14 cm. by 11.5 cm I am interested in anything you might tell me about it and am also considering selling it.
