Rare Harry Beck tube maps going on display next month

An exhibition of rare tube maps, including some annotated by Harry Beck, will be on display next month before being offered for sale.
The exhibition, by The Map House in central London, will showcase the most significant collection of Beck manuscripts ever offered for sale, some of which Beck gifted to his friend and biographer Ken Garland.
