Thomas Cook was founded in 1841 and introduced the world's first package tour. By the time of this booklet, 58 years later, Thomas Cook & Son were selling millions of trips every year and around the world. In 1897, Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee of 1897 was almost exclusively a spotlight to celebrate the British Empire, that was arguably at its zenith, before the start of the Boer Wars.
