The National Portrait Gallery owns a portrait of Bagster by John Linnell, drawn from life at Windsor, c. 1852, itself an 'improved' version of a sepia ink sketch still in the Bagster family collection. Another drawing with watercolour acquired by the NPG in the same lot at the Linnell Sale (Christie's, 15 March 1918, lot 82) was sold by the NPG Trustees to Sir John Lane. The family photographs in the following two lots all date from after Samuel's death in 1851 and therefore include no more images of him.
