Step back in time with us as we explore the world of 19th century excursionists. Wander through the vibrant streets of Calais, France, as captured in The Illustrated London News (1865). Join English travelers as they embark on their grand adventure, guided by the pioneering Thomas Cook. Delve deeper into the mysteries of Paris with The Excursion in the Paris Sewers (1878), an intriguing account by the Reverend Samuel G. Green. Or, peruse the enticing offers in the Cook's Excursionist and Home & Foreign Tourist Advertiser. Experience the allure of exotic lands as depicted in the Thomas Cook Travel Brochure (cover date unknown). And, marvel at the Kaiser's own excursionist spirit, captured in a 1914 photograph. Join us as we celebrate the rich history of excursionists and their spirit of exploration. Let the adventures of the past inspire your own journey into the world.
