Over the bank holiday weekend I was lucky enough t Over the bank holiday weekend I was lucky enough to visit Charleston House in Lewis near Brighton. Wonderful house and a great exhibition about the Hogarth Press.  In 1916, the painter Vanessa Bell and her friend and lover Duncan Grant moved to Charleston along with Duncan’s partner David Garnett. It was the height of the First World War and, as conscientious objectors, Garnett and Grant needed to find farm work to avoid.  On Virginia Woolf’s 33rd birthday in January 1915, the year her first novel was published, she wrote in her diary:
Sitting at tea we decided three things: in the first place to take Hogarth... in the second, to buy a printing press; in the third to buy a Bull dog (likely named John)... I am very much excited at the idea of all three-particularly the press.
Settled at Hogarth House in Richmond, they made their second dream a reality in 1917, buying a small handpress and printing 150 copies of their first book, Two Stories. It includes a story by Virginia and one by Leonard, with woodcuts by Dora Carrington.
The Woolfs loved the craft of printing; Virginia told her sister,
Vanessa Bell:
After 2 hours work at the press, Leonard heaved a terrific sigh and said I wish to God we’d never bought the cursed thing!’ To my relief, though not surprise, he added ‘Because I shall never do anything else:
During its first five years, the Hogarth Press published 17 books, 11 of which they printed and bound by hand, making each unique. This personal touch resonated with readers, setting the Hogarth Press apart in the literary market. In contrast to other private presses, Hogarth placed emphasis on presenting new writing in an attractive binding, but not in the manner of any former ‘book arts’ tradition, such as William Morris’ Kelmscott Press. Hogarth was a literary press, and their emphasis was focused on the quality of the content inside. #blackcatbindery #bookbinding #privatepress #hogarthpress
