The Answers:

Samuel Baker founded the London auction house, which he appropriately called Baker's, on March 11, 1744. When Baker died in 1778, his estate was divided between his nephew, John Sotheby, and his business partner, George Leigh, however, the Sotheby family took control of the company, and though guidance, Sotheby's achieved the dominating position it enjoys today. By the way, 22 years after Samuel Baker held his first auction house, James Christie opened an auction house in London and soon became a major competitor to Sotheby's.

Believe it on not, it was his left foot. emo-dace.gif emo-confetti.gif
