That action is powerful statement...which bring me back to the 11 Dec 2019 Gavin Gardner catalog, which offered a bunch of unfinished actions...including one identified specifically as E.M Reilly. Who made them? When? Why were they identified for specific makers? That was history; The seller knew who made them, where, under what contract, why. I never got an answer from Gavin.

Here are the actions he advertise at that auction
