Jeremiah P. Thomas, October 30, 1830-December 14, 1885, as drawn by himself. An artist, a sailor, a bartender, an author, and a true sport all the way to the end of the last act.

On this day in 1885, Jeremiah P. "Jerry" Thomas walked to his job tending bar at the Hotel Brighton, 42nd St. and Broadway, NYC, but he felt unwell so he went home again. There, at 346 West 62nd St., he died. He was 55 years old. Sit tibi terra levis, Magister Incomparabilis!
LSD was born on this day in 1938 in Albert Hofmann's lab at Sandoz in Basel. It's not for everyone, but Hofmann would later say the psychedelic "gave me an inner joy, an open mindedness, a gratefulness, open eyes and an internal sensitivity for the miracles of creation."
