Summary

Description
English: This Ives Printrun is the first edition printrun based on two important reasons: 1) The Krim Collection had the exact same printrun which had a message written in the upper left corner of the game: "Merry Christmas, 1843" listing the person giving the gift and the person receiving the gift, and 2) this Ives' printrun is almost an exact color copy of the 1801 Mansion of Happiness published in England by Laurie & Whittles in 1801.
