JH Osborne, painter and signwriter of Gulgong, also supplied decorative wallpaper. It seems he painted faux marble headstones as well. Osborneā€™s bark-clad establishment was located at 2 Medley Street, at the sparsely populated northern end of town, which explains the conspicuous display of his sign-writing skill.
