Some Famous People called Jane Tost
Jane Catharine Tost
Jane Catharine Tost (1817-1889) was an Australian taxidermist.
She was employed stuffing and mounting specimens for the Royal Society of Tasmania at the Hobart Town Museum in 1856-60, and had the same position at the Australian Museum in Sydney in 1864-69. This position was unusual for her gender and she was a pioneer as such. From 1872 onward, she managed the Tost & Coates Berlin Wool Depot and Taxidermists in Sydney with her daughter Ada Jane Rohu (1848-1928), and from 1860, mother and daughter participated in international exhibitions and won many prizes.
