John Wesley Cotton (October 29, 1869 – November 24, 1931)[1] was a printmaker
and painter in the early years of the 20th century. He was known for his aquatints,[2][3]
etchings, and drypoints, and for introducing the colour aquatint process to Canada.[4]
Cotton was born in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada. He was trained as a commercial
lithographer and studied at the Toronto Art Students’ League from 1891 to 1892,[5] to
improve his drawing skills. In 1893 went to Chicago to work for a printing firm.[6] Around
1900, he decided to study at the school of the Art Institute of Chicago[6] but combined
his study with work as a lithographer - he worked for Transfer Lithography in Chicago
(1902–1904).[7] In 1904, Cotton became a member of the Palette and Chisel Club in
Chicago and remained one till 1910.[5]
