| [BLOTTER ART: Albert Hofmann & Timothy Leary] HOFMANN, Albert & LEARY, Timothy. Crests. n.p.:n.p., [1994]. LSD blotter art printing an illustration of blue crests with different insignias. Signed by Albert Hofmann, who discovered LSD, and Timothy Leary, it's foremost proponent. Additionally, this is a presentation copy inscribed by Leary to Hofmann: "To my main pal Al!!" According to Tom Lyttle who organized the signing of the sheets, and documented by the correspondence between the participants, disagreements arose that resulted in only 12 sheets being signed by both Hofmann and Timothy Leary. This presentation sheet from Leary to Hofmann is unique and the association could not be more spectacular given Leary's immense admiration for Hofmann and the effect that Hofmann's discovery of LSD had on Leary's life. Even without the inscription this blotter is considered the Holy Grail by collectors because of the small limitation and the combined signatures of the two most illustrious names in the Psychedelic Revolution. This sheet is the only known inscribed item of any kind to have surfaced linking Leary and Hofmann, making an already rare and desirable item even more so. The sheet measures 7" x 7" and is divided into 1000 perforated hits. Fine. Handsomely framed under glass. SKB-8774 | |

("For Ralph / in the shelter / of BL"---a reference to his home near Basel.) A splendid association linking the man who discovered LSD to one of the major researchers in that field. Metzner co-athored several titles with Timothy Leary based on their groundbreaking psychedelic drug experiments at Harvard, and he went on to write The Ecstatic Adventure and other books on psychedelic drug experience. Hofmann's signature is uncommon, but meaningful association copies are rare. Very fine with Metzner's bookplate to front pastedown. SKB-15074 | |
