The New School entry has a photograph. There is another at Bowley on the Portraits of Statisticians page.
In the 4th edition of the Elements (1920) Bowley gave a lot more space to statistical theory. The following excerpt illustrates his approach Bowley's Pearsonian approach to chi-squared on the Life and Work of Statisticians page. This was written just before Bowley got involved in the controversy between Fisher and Pearson on chi-squared. In the fifth edition (1926) Bowley added a reference to his own contribution.
