Image 13-1 seems to have been Handley Page corporate artwork for a generic future bomber. Somehow, Flight confused this commercial art with the H.P.53 for Sweden. As Sheepster said on shipbucket.com"

"The above design was published in Flight magazine in May 1936. It appears to show an enlarged, single-tail, semi-swept wing Hampden potentially with Sabre or Vulture engines. This aircraft is described in the magazine as a development as the still-on-the-drawing board H.P.53 Swedish seaplane. This is before the issuing of Specification P.13/36 which eventually led to the Halifax, and I can find no other reference to the existence of this design???"

 
This relates to Gustav Lachmann's 1922 patent DE347884. I cannot find a copy of this but it is basically the same as his French patent FR534980. The description for the multiple aerofoil conflicted with Handley Page's patents for slots, and Lachmann's patents were granted later but with the claim for an earlier priority date. Neither party wanted a prolonged legal fight so a deal was cut where HP bought the rights to Lachmann's patents. This project was probably a suggestion for how Lachmann's system could be flight tested.
 
Thank you my dear Schneiderman,and from Putnam book,
