‘Secret Maps’ is showing at the @britishlibrary from now until January 18th and if you’re nosey like me, this is such a good one to see! It explores how maps have been used to reveal and conceal information from the 14th century to present day, and contains many documents which were once highly classified. *gifted visit #thingstodoinlondon #londontrip #antiquemaps #vintagemaps #historygram #britishhistory #historylover #londonexhibition #britishlibrary | Jackie Todd
