Choose options
Step into the lush, psychedelic Art Nouveau revival of the 1970s with this original theatrical exhibition poster for William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, illustrated by iconic American graphic artist David Edward Byrd (1941–2024).
Best known as the resident artist of Bill Graham's Fillmore East and the designer of legendary Broadway visuals (including Follies, Godspell, and the Woodstock festival poster), Byrd brought his unmistakable draftsmanship to classic theater. Created in 1973 for a Shakespearean stage production, this piece blends rich Renaissance romance with 1970s counterculture design—showcasing Byrd's mastery of sinuous linework, ornate border framing, and evocative color palettes.
