I have a picture of Cotherstone 1843 Derby winner--does not bear artists name--anyone have any idea if it's worth anything?

........ and, whilst we wait hopefully for a valuation, here is Cotherstone.Cotherstone was a very well known and popular bay born in 1840, sired by the great Touchstone. As well as being a Derby winner, he also won the Two Thousand Guineas and nearly won the St. Leger. In the terminology of those days he was a "thin-fleshed" yearling, and had a series of problems at age two, "always amiss." Trained by John Scott he
started at age two by running unplaced in the Criterion at Newmarket Houghton and, at the same meeting, dead-heating with the filly Mania in the Nursery Stakes. At age three he ran at Newmarket Craven, winning the Riddlesworth Stakes, beating Pompey and Elixir, both by Emilius, and at the same meeting, the Column Stakes, beating four others, including the One Thousand Guineas winner Extempore. He went on to Newmarket First Spring, winning the Two Thousand Guineas, and then, at Epsom, the Derby in an easy two
length victory over a huge field of twenty-three. At Goodwood he beat Khorassan and others by two lengths in the Gratwick Stakes. Without his usual jockey, Bill Scott, who had been injured, Cotherstone met his first defeat of the season in the St. Leger, being beaten by a head by Nutwith, but at the same meeting won the Three Year Old Stakes, beating two others. Back at Newmarket he won the Royal Stakes. In 1844 he was sold Lord Spencer for �3,000, but at Goodwood he broke down running in a sweep there, which ended his career. He was retired to Spencer's stud at Althorp. He sired a good running son in Stilton who won Great Metropolitan, but was better as a sire with Pandora the dam of St. Leger winner St. Albans (who was also the winner of the Great Metropolitan Stakes, the Chester Cup, and the Newmarket Stakes, and who later sired Springfield) .........
