Origin of name looks dubious
The citation for the origin of the name at http://cameo.mfa.org/wiki/Bristol_board looks pretty dubious to me. Although Frederick Hervey may have been Earl of Bristol, most other sources are clear that the type of paper was named for where it was produced, rather than after the Earl e.g. https://www.strathmoreartist.com/blog-reader/what-is-bristol-paper.html

I can't see any other source that says Frederick Harvey had anything to do with Bristol Board, and the cameo link doesn't say which source contains the citation for it being named after the Earl.
