It was a favorite of Alexander's and one of the earliest publications of the move was in Stanyon's Serial Lessons in Conjuring. This is supposed to be Herrmann’s actual handling of the move. See New Card Tricks, First Series (1900)

In 1897, a version was published as a "turnover pass" for the first time by August Roterberg in New Era Card Tricks, page 10.
