Four signed Artist's Proof photographs by Alaska wildlife photographer Johnny Johnson (1947–2025). "Steller Sea Lions", c.2004, shows a colony crowded onto a steep, rocky haulout in Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska. Tawny bodies lie together on dark ledges as surf breaks white below the rocks. "Sea Otter", c.2004, depicts an otter floating among glacial ice floes in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Its small, dark body rests on the blue water between pale pieces of ice. An untitled photograph dated 2004 follows a family of Canada geese across calm water. The birds travel close together, their reflections and small wakes breaking the otherwise still surface. "Mallards in the Mist", c.2004, shows ducks lifting from the water into a dense pink mist. Some birds remain low among the flock while others rise above it, their wings and dark silhouettes becoming faint in the colored haze. All photographs are signed and dated in the lower left corner in gold leaf ink and printed on Ilfochrome. Care information and the artist's biography appear on the reverse of two photographs. Each photograph is shrink-wrapped on board, and "Steller Sea Lions" measures approximately 16.5" x 20.5".
