A signed and numbered wildlife photograph by Alaska wildlife photographer Johnny Johnson (1947–2025), entitled "Spring Fever", dated circa 1998 and numbered 11/450. Two tufted puffins face one another on a rough rock ledge, their bright orange bills and pale, sweeping head plumes standing out against dark plumage and a softly blurred background. Johnson describes the scene: "Tufted puffins are one of two species of puffins found along Alaska's rugged coastline and offshore islands. The tufted puffin is easily distinguished by the long blonde plumes that hang behind the eyes. I found this pair on St. George Island in the Pribilof Islands." The photograph is signed, dated and numbered in the lower right corner in gold leaf ink and printed on Fuji Crystal Archive Supergloss paper. It is matted and framed under glass, measuring approximately 16" x 18.75" overall. Also included are two copies of the 1997/98 The Art of Johnny Johnson Limited-Edition Ilfochrome photographs catalog and Johnny Johnson's 2000 Alaska Wildlife Calendar.
