Biography
drawing teacher, advertised 'Instruction, in every style of Drawing and Painting’ from her cottage at the Race Course [Hyde Park], Elizabeth Street, Sydney ('near the Normal Institution’) in July 1837. Her terms were 3 guineas a quarter for private lessons at the student’s home and 2 guineas at a school or in her home. General classes cost 32s 6d and were held at 9 a.m. on Mondays and Thursdays. In a similar advertisement in December she styled herself Mademoiselle Dubost from Paris and was proposing to open in the New Year 'an establishment for the Education of Young Ladies, in which the French language will be spoken’. Her day school for girls duly opened in 1838 and she continued her drawing classes on Saturday mornings. This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography.
