Born October 13, 1848, in Thetford, Vt. Closson was educated at the Thetford Academy. He worked as a clerk in the railroad office. Closson then travelled to Boston as an apprentice wood engraver with Samuel S. Kilburn. He Studied drawing at the Lowell Institute, and later worked as a free-lance engraver for Century Co., Harper's and for various Boston book publishers. Closson travelled to Europe from 1881 to 83, engraving masterpieces for Harper's. During this time he exhibited at the Paris Salon. Louis Prang's Homes and Haunts of the Poets (1886) included etchings by Closson. He also developed a unique wood engraving technique, 1888. Closson exhibited at the Salon once more in 1889. In the 1890s, as photomechanical processes replaced wood engraving, Closson painted landscapes and portraits.
