Hogarth House, Richmond by rumpelstiltskin

Hogarth House, Richmond

Hogarth House was built in 1750, and was home to Virginia and Leonard Woolf from 1915 to 1924. (As an aside, I have used a wet plate processing effect on this shot as a nod to the photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, who was Virginia Woolf's great aunt).

The Woolfs created a publishing house (the Hogarth Press) by setting up a printing press in the house. They published Virginia's work, along with that of TS Eliot, Sigmund Freud, Laurens van der Post and artworks by Vanessa Bell and Dora Carrington.

The building was recently refurbished and sold as two properties called Leonard (left) and Virginia (right).

That’s an interesting bit of history. Love this building with the beautiful brick work.
