Cut vellum and paper panels sprang to prominence in the Lowlands in the late 17th century and were popular with amateurs in England throughout the 18th century. Horace Walpole owned two cut-paper panels by Nathaniel Bermingham, the best-known and probably the most accomplished paper-cutter in 18th century England, who is recorded in London between 1744-1774 (C. Graham, 'Precious Paperwork', Traditional Interior Decoration, October 1987, pp. 146-147).
