HENGELER, Adolf  (1863-1927) – creator of source image(s), all 7 slides

Notes

The attribution to Hengeler is based on a signature 'A Hengeler 1890' which appears on Slide 7; this is presumed to be Adolf Hengeler (and the style of the police uniforms does seem quite Germanic), although the style is unlike his other known work.
