I don't know who put together that set. The seller did not want to disclose this in the catalog and auction houses generally accede to the consignor's wishes in this regards.
It is interesting that Jeff Garrett wrote a couple of years ago that the 1858-1915 proof sets are very unpopular at this moment, and that these coins trade at elevated 1980s boom price levels, apparently due to the set registry effect.

THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
