"McKinley Summer", c.1996, is a signed photograph by Alaska wildlife photographer Johnny Johnson (1947–2025), numbered 423/950. The accompanying artwork description leaflet reads: "Cotton grass or Arctic cotton, grows in moist areas around tundra ponds. Some years, if the spring is extremely wet, it grows in profusion and provides a wonderful foreground for pictures of Mt. McKinley. To make this photograph, I used a 35mm lens and mounted my camera on a tripod. Because there was very little wind, I was able to use a slow shutter speed to achieve maximum depth of field." The photograph is signed, dated, and numbered in the lower right corner in gold leaf ink and printed on Fuji Crystal Archive Supergloss paper. Also included are a 1997/98 The Art of Johnny Johnson Limited Edition Ilfochrome photographs catalog, an artist's biography sheet, and an Alaska address book. The artwork is matted and framed under glass, measuring approximately 19.25" x 16.25" overall.
