It's widely known that Virginia Woolf was a writer, but she also started a press out of her home with her husband, Leonard, called the Hogarth Press. The couple bought a small letterpress and set it up in their dining room, producing many of Woolf's books, including "Mrs. Dalloway." Hogarth Press ran for nearly 30 years before being absorbed by a larger publisher. Having their own press allowed the Woolfs to decide what got published and get it out into the world directly, something still shared by small presses today.

This printing event by the library's Book Arts Studio is in conjunction with the exhibit Mrs. Dalloway and WWI: Home Front and War Front (https://myumi.ch/G4ewE), on display in the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room from September 3 - December 13, 2024.
