Origin[]

Currier and Ives was a successful American printmaking firm based in New York City from 1835 to 1907 headed first by Nathaniel Currier, and later jointly with his partner James Merritt Ives. The prolific firm produced prints from paintings by fine artists as black and white lithographs that were hand colored.

Effects[]

Currier and Ives was known for their winter-based picture printing, so when the advent calendar is opened, it produces a snowstorm so powerful that it covers almost everything around it with snow. This will activate artifacts which are triggered by snow, so it must be closed at all times.

Appearances[]

Mentioned in passing during the tie in novel "A Touch of Fever".
