Seems to be a classic tweed traveling style suit jacket. It became the stereotype for traveling salesmen of the 1800s thanks to early Hollywood movies. I'd guesstimate late 1870s.

Here's a modern example:

I cleaned up the photo just to help decipher the overall look, so I included it here even though you didn't require the repair. Basically it was just something to do. ;-)

My two cents anyway.

   DrDude45  thanks for restore  ,hanging on to pic, hoping to identify it one day  cheers john  ps i love browsing all the restores 

This is one of those photos that's got a mix of dates.
First thing to say is that it looks like one cardstock has been stuck onto another one.
The outer cardstock is mid -late 70's although the stamp is typical 1860's.
The gent is dressed typically in an 1850's-60's style but as an older chap he's probably not bothered by new styles.
This may be a reprint of an earlier photo so I would have to say 1860's or 1870's.
I think you're looking for someone born c.1790's.
Albums were usually the province of women so maybe a daughter.

please could someone tell me ,approximate date photo was taken,  and rough age  of the gentleman ,the back of the studio photograph says d grant  photo builth, no improvement of pic required, as at present subject ,unidentified  it was in a box of photographs belonging to my wife's grandfather,  i know its not him  ,the jacket looks pixelated,  but thats the pattern clearly on this small 2 and 3 eigths by 3 and 5 eigth's of an inch photo  thanks to anyone that can help  john
