hi, had a look, i'm not an expert by any means, but it looks middle to late victorian to me, 1880ish?.
by the way there is an image resizer tool which is a freeware programme, which reduces the size of photo's, 700mb down to about 80 without drastically affecting quality, helps when uploading as it is then a small file, just google image resizer, worth a try

I reckon the picture dates from the 1890's (but I'm not usually good at these) do you have any idea as to the name (even surname of either of the couple in the middle) as it is a wedding photo, if you could find out that you would have your date. There were quite a few marriages of Jerome's between 1890 and 1900 in Portsea (the pre 1900 name for Portsmouth)

It looks vaguely priestly to me. Orthodox in shape, and quite similar to those worn by Russian Orthodox priests, but the five pointed star may be leading me astray, back to the Motherland
The Russian 5 pointed star didn't really take off big time till the 1917 Revolution so I don't think it's from there.
Maybe Masonic?
Sorry, not much help I know

It's possible that the woman on his left is his mother and the woman standing behind her certainly looks a bit like him. I think you really need to try and find who they all are - what about the buildings?

The trouble is, is that I've got nothing substantial to go on. The photo came from a cousin in America, she was the original genealogist in our family, but she doesn't know where it came from.
If it's our family, and I'm pretty sure it is, the town is likely to be Portsea/Portsmouth, but they look like typical terraced buildings of the age, although they seem to have a back yard of reasonable size.
I know it's not a definite solution, but I'll post a picture of some more of my family. I think that the 2 boys top right look like my G. Grandfather and his brother.
