Jemima Morrell (1832-1909) was an English traveler, artist and writer from Selby in Yorkshire.

Alpine Tour
In June 1863, Morrell embarked on one of Thomas Cook' s earliest tours to Switzerland. The 21-day all inclusive Swiss tour cost £19 17s 6d (roughly £860 today). Her younger brother William and friends from the Junior United Alpine Club travelled with Morrell. They travelled from London to Paris and then Geneva, before embarking on a series of challenging walks in the Swiss Alps.

Swiss Journal
Morrell diligently kept a diary of the trip, which was one of the first recorded Swiss tours.

Morrell's light-hearted account of the trip reveals that the group travelled for fun.
