For history buffs, there s nothing better than a surprise on Antiques Roadshow. Every once in a while, someone drops by with a personal story better than anything found in the history books.
In Season 25 of the show, available on the PBS video app, the appraisers revisited a trip to Orlando, Florida in 2007 when they got a visit from none other than Cecil Stoughton, the first-ever official White House photographer, who documented the personal and public lives of President John F. Kennedy and his family.
He brought a number of photographs to the appraisers on Antiques Roadshow, including a private photo of the Kennedy family along with perhaps one of the most famous photographs of the 20th Century.
