Thora Hallager, self-portrait, 1866
Thora Hallager (1821–1884) was a Danish photographer. She was Denmark's earliest female photographer. She appears to have been familiar with daguerreotypy before she went on a study trip to Paris in 1855, apparently to learn about the latest American developments in the process. She probably practised as a photographer in Copenhagen from about 1850 before opening her own studio in 1857. via Wikipedia
