I think it is embroidered, not applique. Otw - no idea.
Does look 1920s or there abouts.

Alfred Noyer (1890-1960) ran a photography studio in Paris from 1910 until the German occupation in the 40s. It specialized in postcards, including risqué ones like this, Number 4043 in the studio's catalogue. The decor is Edwardian, probably placing the photo in the 1912-1925 or so time frame. I don't recognize the cat image; it isn't the famous Chat Noir poster, though. I'll look a bit further for it.

Possibly a lithograph by artist Kwo Da-Wei (1919-2003) depicting his black cat Kim.
Always glad for your expertise on photos of this era, @Tio_Narratore (and it’s nice to have the studio mark on the image).
As for the cat, it’s a bit Steinlenesque, and may have been inspired by the 1896 Chat Noir poster. Beyond that, however, I have no idea. Wonder if we have any true art history experts around Lit. May have to pass this to the Sensuality thread - seems like @sally_sparrow is no longer around to ask directly.

If so, it does present a dating problem. I'll check out the artist and try to get the date of the Noyer postcard.
Back to postcards. A twofer, because they’re a set, and smaller; a four-fer, if you count the reflections.

Women have always been rightly proud of the beauty of their naked bodies, despite whatever the censor may think or the false dictates of the repressive time may have decreed...
And there have always been artists to appreciate and immortalize their beauty, for which the models and viewers have been and continue to be grateful.
