Illustrated Catalogue Issued Annually by Thos. H. McCollin, Thos. H. McCollin, (Philadelphia, PA), dated January 1, 1876, ~4 ½"x6 ½", 160pp + viii introduction

As normal for the wet plate era, this catalog is geared for the professional.  Amateur photography was limited until the popularization of the dry plate, about 1882.  Apparently, professionals needed little choice in field cameras, as their are few examples here, apparently only those manufactured by the E. & H.T. Anthony & Co.
