This is not possible in HTML / CSS.

Absolute positioning allows you to place this, but you must ensure that other content does not collide with it - the text does not flow.

The Float mechanism allows you to flow, but only allows you to place the float at the horizontal level of your "anchor" - without positioning, but left / right.

Would you use:

float: left; position: absolute; bottom: 0px;

Add the following style to the image.

 float: left; padding-right:10px; padding-top:10px; position:absolute, bottom: 10px;

Maybe I got an image with the correct top location, and not the bottom left, maybe you can get around it.

 .wrap-box { width: 400px; text-align: justify; } .wrap-box img { float: right; padding: 0 0 5px 5px; height: 80px; width: 80px; }

Box:

 <div class="wrap-box"> <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4020/4656328142_faab111247.jpg"> Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. </div>

Now you can use CSS forms with a known container height or using js.

You need a floating 100% tall image container:

 height: 100%; /* either js or known parent height */ float: left; width: 100px;

The actual form of a float is a bottom-aligned rectangle defined by the shape-outside property:

 shape-outside: polygon( 0 100%, /* bottom left point */ 100px 100%, /* 100px to the right */ 100px calc(100% - 100px) /* 100px above the bottom */ ); 

 var text = document.querySelector('.text'); // setting container height + some extra space to compensate for the "image" text.style.height = (text.clientHeight + 20) + 'px'; 
 .text { columns: 2; /* also works with columns! */ -webkit-columns: 2; width: 600px; } .text-known-height { height: 230px; width: 400px; } .text p { margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0; } .float-bottom { background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); width: 100px; height: 100%; position: relative; } .float-right { float: right; shape-outside: polygon(100% 100%, /* bottom right point */ calc(100% - 100px) 100%, /* 100px from right edge */ calc(100% - 100px) calc(100% - 100px)); } .float-right .image { right: 0; left: auto; } .float-left { float: left; shape-outside: polygon(0 100%, /* bottom left point */ 100px 100%, /* 100px to the right */ 100px calc(100% - 100px) /* point 100px above the bottom */ ); } .image { position: absolute; bottom: 0; left: 0; width: 90px; height: 90px; line-height: 90px; text-align: center; color: white; background: #7233B6; }
