Two signed Artist's Proof photographs by Alaska wildlife photographer Johnny Johnson (1947–2025). "Polar Dawn", c.2004, shows a mother polar bear resting with her cubs in the warm light of dawn. Their coats glow amber against the blue-violet snow. The artist's description reads: "On the frozen plains of Cape Churchill near Canada's Hudson Bay, a family of polar bears watch the dawn. The small cubs of the year rest snugly against their protective mother - all eyes alert to the new day." "Polar Bear & Cubs", c.2004, follows a mother and her two cubs across the pack ice of Hudson Bay, Canada. The cubs move close behind her through an open field of broken ice. Both are signed, dated, and marked A/P in gold leaf ink and printed on Fuji Crystal Archive Supergloss paper. The photographs are shrink-wrapped on board. The largest photograph measures approximately 20.5" x 24.25".
