The second work, titled Drinking Card Players (28 by 24 inches), was included in a retrospective exhibition held in Drogheda in 1991, whilst the third work is the well-known Ballads in the Bar (24 by 30 inches), now in the collection of the Arts Council of Ireland / An Chomhairle Ealaíon. Reid had first-hand knowledge of bar-life, as her father Thomas Reid ran a well-known public-house in Drogheda. Card Players was last exhibited in 1982 alongside works by the Figurative Image Group, of which Nano Reid had been a founding member.<BR>
