An den Maler, Kunstautor und Sekretär der Society of Graphic Arts Frank L. Emmanuel (1865–1948): „In reply to your letter [...] inviting me to become an Honorary Member of the Society of Graphic Arts I appreciate very highly your great courtesy in asking me to join the Society in such a capacity, but I feel that I must decline the honour. Such a position I think should be reserved for those whose work has had great influence for good on the Black a[nd] White Art of our time: a[nd] unfortunately I cannot claim that distinction […]”.
– Osborne studierte an der Merchants Venturers School und der Bristol School of Art sowie am Royal College of Art; zu seinem bevorzugten Sujet gehörten Landschaften. 1924 wurde er Nachfolger von Frank Short als Professor für Stichkunst am Royal College of Art..
