This newspaper article, published a few months after J. Pierpont's death in April 1913, combines a reproduction of one of De Meyer's photographs of Greene with a fanciful rendition by the illustrator J.C. Fireman of Belle Greene sitting at a desk and speaking on the telephone. The desk depicted in this drawing does not appear to match the actual desk that Belle Greene used in her office. She also used a telephone table, which still survives today in the Morgan's collection, and that table is not shown in this drawing.

“Young Woman Librarian Continues Work of Great Morgan Collection” New York Herald, August 3, 1913 With reproduction of a photographic portrait by Adolph de Meyer (1868–1946) and rendering by illustrator J.C. Fireman
