    Rare Books

    This series includes personal correspondence, slides, photographs, photocopies of Morris & Co. letters, and miscellaneous ephemera relating to Berger's interest in George and Ellen Booth's Cranbrook community in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and in particular in the founders' acquisition of the Morris & Co. tapestries "The Passing of Venus", "The New Dispensation" and "The Old Dispensation". The correspondence dates from the late 1980s. Some of the photographs record the Bergers' trip to Cranbrook in May of 1992.
