Bristol and Illustration Board

Bristol and illustration board provide a stiff, strong surface to work on without the need for mounting. Our boards come in various weights and finishes.

It derives its name from the early days of European papermaking, when mills would send their finest paper to Bristol, England to be pasted. Illustration board has 100% cotton drawing paper mounted on both sides of heavyweight board.
