The artist, an amateur photographer, is believed to have been a chemist working for the Schering Company of Berlin. From a mention in the March 12, 1907 issue of London’s The Amateur Photographer:

A recent English patent (No. 22,725 of 1906) granted to A. Zimmermann as agent for the Schering Chemical Works at Berlin, deals with a method of printing on the two-colour system. “Two or more monochromatic positive images are superposed, silver emulsions being used, and some or all of the components are produced directly upon transparent detachable backings, such as celluloid, in order to facilitate the coincidence in transferring and superimposing the component pictures. An orange-yellow positive is obtained upon a silver gelatine paper by fixing with ammonia. A positive is printed from the blue negative upon a celluloid base and tinted blue by a bath containing ferric ammonium citrate, glacial acetic acid, and potassium ferricyanide. The high lights of the print are cleared by a hydrochloric acid bath. The print is superimposed upon the yellow positive and the celluloid supports stripped off.” (p. 226)
