The origins of wallpaper date back to 1650, when paper became less expensive and Europeans began to paste papers painted with decorative motifs directly onto their walls. One paper decorated with a textile design was discovered on a beam in Cambridge, England, dating back to 1509. Across the English Channel, French craftsmen produced single sheets of decorated papers, called "dominos," for the middle-class market throughout the first half of the 16th century. The English fashion for "Print Room Paper," of which there is a wonderful example in the 18th Century room - titled "Print Room Paper," (1750-1800) - is block-printed on handmade paper, accompanied by the following wall-text: "In 1753 Horace Walpole noted that he had cut up some prints and glued them to his wall and framed them 'in the new manner' invented by Lord Cardigan; that is with black and white borders printed. This fashion was taken up by paper stainers, who made trompe l'oeil wall paper versions with framed views of temples, ruins and landscapes."
