As this image ?
You would use:
float: left;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
That is not possible in HTML/CSS.
Absolute positioning allows placement like that, but you should ensure other content not clashing with it - no text flowing around.
Float mechanism gives you flowing around, but only allows placing float on the horizontal level of its "anchor" - no positioning but left/right..
It is possible, I have come up with a right top placed image, not bottom left, maybe you can work around with it.
.wrap-box {
width: 400px;
text-align: justify;
}
.wrap-box img {
float: right;
padding: 0 0 5px 5px;
height: 80px;
width: 80px;
}
The 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's 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.

That is now possible using CSS Shapes with either known container height or the use of js.
You need a floated 100% height image container:
height: 100%; /* either js or known parent height */
float: left;
width: 100px;
Actual shape of the float is a bottom-aligned rectangle defined by 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;
