Great Britain 1900 - Thomas Cook and Son 4 Pounds 1 Shilling 8 Pence Sight Draft Photographic Proof (Pick Unlisted)

This 4 Pounds, 1 Shilling and 8 Pence sight draft photographic proof is a museum-grade archival survivor from the early development of Thomas Cook and Son's international financial instruments.
