Not much help but Victorian I would say

It looks to be 1870s I would say.

Hi all...I'd put it just a bit earlier, maybe between 1865 and 1870...1870 at the latest. You have other photos by this photographer don't you...they came up in a google search and according to Seoras Gibson was interested in photography from about 1860 so the time frame would fit. I don't want to put it any earlier than 1865ish but it's just from the style of photo and the "duplicates may be had" notation. Corners got rounded about 1875ish.

It's a nice photo, and there will be a posing stand at the gent's feet which is artfully concealed by the shadows

My two cents
China

That's great, thank you all very much for your help.

Are you sure he is a clergyman?   The collar could be just that - it looks to have bit at the front which is not in keeping with clerical band.

True - perhaps I looked at it too hastily
