Cabinet card photograph depicting a commercial storefront identified as Emery Pharmacy, advertising prescriptions filled day or night. The image itself is not visible in the provided scan, which shows the verso of the cabinet card mount. The photograph would have been mounted as a standard cabinet card, likely an albumen print based on period practice. No photographer’s imprint is visible on the mount in the image provided.

The verso bears period handwritten identification reading “B. W. Holman,” likely referencing an associated individual rather than a photographer credit, along with additional penciled notations including a date-like entry “2.2.00” and a small inventory-style number near the lower edge. These annotations suggest later identification or cataloging rather than original studio marking.

The card is otherwise plain on the reverse, without printed advertising or studio branding, consistent with commercially oriented exterior views that were sometimes sold or retained locally rather than widely distributed.
