Her first book, Games of Patience for one or more players was published in 1888, and was reprinted in 1890, the same year as publication of her second series....She invented the Chastleton Patience Board sometime between 1875 and 1898.

This was agreed on the understanding that she would personally sign every individual copy sold." (TheWorldOfPlayingCards).
