On the history of paper models in Ireland

I came accross an interesting article recently on the history of the famous Schreiber - Bogen , a company producing amazing paper model cut-out kits since around 1880. It tells of how this company actually helped to record historic events in Germany - always coming out with new models reflecting what was happening at that very moment. For instance, when Germany was newly reunited and was building its new "Reichstag" parliament building, Schreiber had a cut-out model ready for the public to build before the real thing was opened!

I began to wonder whether Ireland had some equivalent history in paper model making, but have come across very few clues. Maybe the readers of this blog know something about this?
