Elegant Lady Cat Hand Painted and Coloured in the Style of M. Boulanger

The Boulevardière represented a prominent social type in late 19th and early 20th century Paris: a fashionable, often independent woman frequenting the city's grand boulevards and theaters. This postcard's anthropomorphic cat, adorned with a stylish hat and collar, playfully embodies this archetype, reflecting the era's fascination with urban elegance and social commentary through animal caricatures.
