Vintage original 15.75 x 24 in. US poster created to advertise a two-night event at the Hollywood Bowl entitled, MOVIES AT THE BOWL. Held on August 17 & 18, 1990 at the world-famous outdoor venue in Hollywood, California, this event was hosted by the American Cinemathque and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Billed as "An Old-Fashioned Night at the Movies," this two-night event included a screening of the classic Technicolor Hollywood-themed musical, Singin' in the Rain (1952); music by the former Tonight Show band leader "Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band"; silent film accompanist "Gaylord Carter at the Organ"; shorts, cartoon, newsreel, and celluloid oddities; and Special Guest Stars in person.

The poster features an image of one of the Art Deco-themed statutes near the entrance to the Hollywood Bowl in the lower left corner with the famous searchlights pointing skywards towards the moon and clouds which visitors enjoy while at the Bowl. As indicated in the bottom of the right border, this vintage original small-print run poster was designed by the renowned artist, David Byrd (AKA David Edward Byrd) with illustration by Joe Beserra (Mr. Beserra's signature/logo is within the bottom of the Art Deco statue). Unrestored and unfolded as originally issued, this vintage original poster, which is almost the size of a standard motion picture window card, is in very fine+ condition without any pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws. It will be shipped rolled in a sturdy tube to prevent damage while in transit.

David Edward Byrd (born April 4, 1941) is an American graphic artist, designer, illustrator, and painter, known primarily for his poster designs. After graduating, Byrd moved to New York City, where, in early 1968, work was started for Bill Graham for venues in the new Fillmore East Ballroom in Manhattan's East Village. Byrd was reportedly hired on the spot after showing his portfolio to Bill Graham and signed on as the exclusive poster and program designer, beginning with a poster for the upcoming Traffic event. In the period 1968 to 1973, he and Fantasy Unlimited created posters for Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, Ravi Shankar, Traffic, and Bill Graham favorite, the Grateful Dead.

In 1969 Byrd created the original poster for Woodstock, ultimately unused once the festival had to be relocated. He designed posters for notable stage musicals, including Follies, Godspell, The Robber Bridegroom, The Grand Tour, The Survival of St. Joan, Jesus Christ Superstar, Little Shop of Horrors, and others. Byrd worked with The Who for their rock opera, Tommy. From 1970 to 1979, Byrd taught at the Pratt Institute and the School of Visual Arts. In 1981, Byrd came to Los Angeles to work on the Van Halen World Tour. After that, he did more poster creations in and around Los Angeles for, among others, The Mark Taper Forum, The Ahmanson Theatre, The Doolittle Theatre (in Hollywood, CA), and The Pasadena Playhouse. From 1984 to 1986, he was Art Director of the national gay news magazine, The Advocate. From 1991 to 2002, Byrd was Senior Illustrator at Warner Brothers Creative Services, creating illustrations, backgrounds, and style guides for all the Looney Tunes and Hanna–Barbera characters. His other tasks included working with writer J. K. Rowling on the first three books to make a visual cornerstone for the Harry Potter films that were to follow. David has lived in the Los Angeles area since the 1980s. In 1985, David began Byrd/Beserra Studios with his partner, Jolino Beserra.
