Although Hosford initially trained as a painter, he abandoned painting for printmaking by the 1920s. He spent many winters working in St. Paul, Minnesota where he created this view on the St. Croix river. Hosford was the public relations counsel for the Oliver Mining Company, and visited their mining operations up and down the St. Croix River.
