Two signed Artist's Proof photographs by Alaska wildlife photographer Johnny Johnson (1947–2025). "Vervet Monkey", c.2004, depicts a monkey seated among the thick branches of an acacia tree. Its small gray body rests in a fork of the trunk, partly sheltered by leaves and a dark green forest background. "Giraffe", c.1993, shows a tower of Masai giraffes standing in grassland beneath a moody sky. The long necks and patterned coats rise above the grass, with the animals gathered at different distances across the open plain. Both photographs are signed and dated in the lower left corner in gold leaf ink and printed on Ilfochrome. A care guide and artist's biography are included on the reverse. Each photograph is shrink-wrapped on board, and "Vervet Monkey" measures approximately 16" x 20".
