Splendid occupational cabinet card showing Illinois jeweler J. W. Wisa and his wife or employee outside his store.  At the very top edge we see a portion of a large watch with eyeglass hanging from the bottom. The marquee up top advertise jeweler on the right side and watches on the left. The large showcase windows have a wonderful display of clocks which include elaborate glass dome versions, a carved wood clock, and figural examples along with a display of jewelry on the right side.  There is also a sign inside advertising Hampden Watches.  The image is in very good plus condition with great tones and contrast and some typical light wear seen at an angle.
