A portrait of Samuel Ames appeared on page 530 of volume 2 of *The Green Bag* in 1890, a legal magazine published in Boston for lawyers and others in the profession. The picture is a halftone, a photomechanical process that broke a photograph into a pattern of dots so it could be printed alongside type, which made portraits of individuals increasingly common in magazines of the period. The record for this image rests on older caption-card information that has not been verified, so the sitter's identity and other details should be checked against additional sources before they are relied upon.
