The Drake's Progress
The Tale of a Bathtub Toy Led Diabolically Astray
Debauchery. Debt. Deception. And worse. A cast of rubber duckies updates a tragic odyssey from the streets of William Hogarth’s London. A country duck comes into a fortune. Goes to the Big Egg. And falls into very bad company. He marries. For money. Only to be wiped out when DP (Duck Petroleum) spills his investment. Things go from bad to very much worse for Donny Drakewell. A cautionary fable in oils, watercolor, photography and digital magic. Parental Discretion Advised.
A 50-page companion edition of The Drake's Progress contains all of Langley Spurlock's images and the full narrative translated from the original Duck by John Martin Tarrat.
