Hosea M. Knowlton appears here in a photoprint made by J.E. Purdy of Boston, who copyrighted the image under his own name. Boston studios like Purdy's produced many portraits of public figures and local notables around the turn of the twentieth century, when photoprints offered an affordable way to circulate a person's likeness. The date of about 1901 and other identifying details come from a caption card and have not been independently verified, so the sitter's biography is best confirmed against other sources. The print still shows the formal portrait conventions of its era.
