Although begun in part as a therapeutic outlet from the pressures of writing, their printing venture was quickly acclaimed for its publication of new and experimental works from authors such as Vita Sackville-West, Katherine Mansfield, T. S. Eliot, and the Woolfs themselves. Their striking cover designs and illustrations by artists Dora Carrington, Virginia Woolf's sister Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, and others, are also notable. Eventually, the Hogarth Press became known not only for fiction, but also for significant contributions to publishing in the fields of psychoanalysis, politics, and disarmament.
