Pauline Schmidt
Pauline Wilhelmine Rasmussen Schmidt (1865–1944), was a professional Danish magician and photographer. She was one of the few female magicians in Scandinavia during the 19th century.[1]
Schmidt performed magic shows in Sweden and Finland during the 1880s.[2] In 1888, she married the Finnish photographer Niels Rasmussen and became his colleague in Tampere, Finland. Schmidt opened her own studio in 1914.
Pauline Schmidt is portrayed in the novel Pauline Wilhelmine – trollkonstnärinna (Pauline Wilhelmine – a female magician), by Elisabeth Sandelin (2013).
