The Hogarth Press was a British publishing house founded in 1917 by Leonard and Virginia Woolf. It was named after their house in Richmond, United Kingdom in which they began hand-printing books. The original design of the Press emblem was made by Vanessa Bell in 1917. In this work, the emblem of the Hogarth Press was sandblasted onto glass and double exposed with the animals in Richmond park where Virginia Woolf often walked. The animals are shown reacting to a loud noise, as if startled by a wolf.
