Subject:        Looking for pictures of map display cabinets

I am looking for ideas on how to securely display rare maps.

My initial thought is for a tilted large flat display case, roughly shaped like a drafting table, but I'm open to other ideas.  I don't want to display the maps exactly vertically or horizontally, but somewhere in between.  It needs to accommodate largish items, say five feet wide and four feet high (150cm x 120cm).

If you have any photographs of display cabinets/cases online, please send me a url.  I think something custom will need to be built, but I need photos and such for inspiration.
