Josephine Kablick
b. 1787, Czechoslovakia; d. 1863, Czechoslovakia

Josephine Kablick was a paleontologist and botanist. She collected plant and fossil samples for institutions throughout Europe, as well as for her own collection. Fittingly, many of the fossils and plants in those institutions are named in her honor.
