Item 084 Oil painting of Ace Reid by Lois Raymer of Kerrville. Madge Reid says this painting was commissioned to hang over her fireplace but it turned out to be two times too tall to fit into the space. Framed

An extensive collection of original cowpoke artwork by Asa “Ace” Reid. The bulk of the accession consists of 75 framed pen and ink cartoons, and there are another 35 unframed in box 1. Also framed are 14 original watercolors by Reid, a 6-foot oil painting of Reid, and a banner from Ruidoso Downs. There are several photographs of Ace Reid by himself and with others, as well as photographs of notables such as Governor John Connally, Hank Thompson, and Slim Pickens. Artifacts include Reid’s drawing table, chair, and saddle. The collection was transferred from the Museum of Western Art in Kerrville, Texas.
