Hope someone can find out. It's a very slinky and attractive design...

Think it's related to this?

Thoughts:

Are we looking at a model, or a full-sized aircraft? I tend to think model. It seems to have very full-sized features, however.

The propeller looks very odd, seems heavy and lumpy, the idea of blowing over the rear wing is intriguing.

The rear wing appears to be set up for warping? also swept back - why?

The fuselage looks boat-inspirted, like an antoinette. The tail seems quite modern and functional for the day.

Intriguing design. I'm guessing it never went anywhere either due to lack of power or poor handling.

Certainly Harry is a little closer to Deperdussin but it must be recognized that in the design of the time there were shared characteristics which often leads to confusion.
