First printed edition from a manuscript written by Miss Jemima in 1863. It was found in a tin box in the ruins of a blighted Thomas Cook office just after the Second World War. A party of sixty-four ladies and gentlemen went on the first completed tour of the Alps arranged by Thomas Cook. Jemima Anne Morrell (1832-1909), British artist, was commissioned by the Junior United Alpine Club to write an account of their adventures. Accompanied by photographs and the author's own drawings. Robinson 118.
