In the mid 1970s, John Hanson Mitchell discovered over 2,000 antique glass plate negatives in the attic of an old estate in Massachusetts, the work of a little-known African American named Robert Gilbert. "Looking for Mr. Gilbert" is filled with music, natural history, African-American history, and the world of early photography as Mitchell uncovers the life of this remarkable American.
