In 2017, Sotheby’s Global Head of Photographs, Emily Bierman, got a cold call from someone who said, “I think I have a photograph of [former U.S. president] John Quincy Adams.”

Something about this call sparked a sense of excitement, and in the latest #SothebysStories episode, Emily recounts how one phone call brought a piece of history to light.
