From the Foreword: "The Houghton Library has long cherished its close relationship with Stephen Harvard, which began when he was an undergraduate at Dartmouth. He frequently visited the Departm ent of Printing and Graphic Arts, where his interest in the world of letters. was encouraged by Philip Hofer". From the Introduction: "Born in Rochester, Minnesota in 1948, Stephen grew up in Connecticut, where his first interest was natural his tory. " "Along with his boyhood museum of natural history in the basement came the self-taught practice of calligraphy, a correspondence course in cartooning, and courses in etching and oil painting. Entering Dartmouth in 1966 with these developi ng skill s, he was fortunate to become a student of Ray Nash, whose legendary courses in book design, printing, and printmaking focussed Stephen's gifts toward the area in which he was to perform so brilliantly".
