Rost was highly regarded for his fine wood and copper engravings -- renderings of governmental buildings on bank notes and official documents; images on early postage stamps (see Museum of the United States Essays and Proofs; 3-cent stamp); and earlier for his documenting the Crystal Palace and other exhibits of the 1850 World's Fair in London. He was also admired for his engraved landscapes, claimed by some contemporaries to be among the finest they'd seen. His etchings/photos or articles are represented in the Library of Congress, US National Archives; Brunnier Art Museum, Ames, Iowa; Center for American Music - Stephen Foster Memorial University of Pittsburgh; Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco. In addition the Huntington Library and the Smithsonian libraries have extensive files regarding his work with cacti and travel-related photography
