In 1965, while Sanford and Helen Berger were studying architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in Cambridge, Massachusetts, they stumbled upon a poorly printed facsimile of what is known as the Kelmscott Chaucer, originally issued by William Morris's Kelmscott Press in the late nineteenth century. They became curious about Morris's books and soon became avid collectors. They acquired astonishingly beautiful books designed and printed by the press, which Morris founded relatively late in his life in 1891, and they soon became interested in other aspects of Morris's multifaceted career.
