Nicoline Marie Elise Weywadt (1848–1921) was the first woman in Iceland to have studied and practised photography.
On returning from her studies in Copenhagen, she managed the Teigarhorn farmhouse built by her father in Djúpavogshreppur.
[1][2] Born on 5 February 1848 in Djúpivogur, Nicoline Marie Elise Weywadt was the second oldest of the 14 children of Niels Peter Emil Weywadt (1814–1883), a director with Ørum & Wulff, and his wife Sophie Brochdorf (1826–1902).
[4] After her father died in 1883, she took over the Teigarhorn premises and added a photography workshop.
In 1888, Nicoline returned to Copenhagen to gain experience in dry-plate photography.
