Yes, the lack of corset and the loose top. Also, it looks short, which also seems 1920’s.

We had centerfolds taped to the inside lid of our lock box at work in the 90's. Hired a female apprentice, they were gone in a week. Then she got her own outhouse, with a lock.

No one in that photo looks as though they agreed to be there.

Would a DNA test through Ancestry maybe help? Might at least be able to narrow it down.

We've done this with Glamor shots from Goodwill. "This is Cousin Iliana, last seen in 1987, not forgotten, we assume she joined a cult. She was always kind of taps head "

Defintely somewhere in the range of 1920-1930 or so. The fit of the dress, footwear, hairstyles, veil style. 1939-45 was WWII so even if you think about the fact that the bouquets are abundant, that would not have been the case during wartime making this prior to that period.

I had that poster on the wall in a welding shop in Paramount, California in 1978. The way the sun lights up her pubes is really remarkable.

That wedding gown and veil is definitely from the 1920s.

There are people who, as a hobby or sometimes even a sort of profession, look for old photo albums in thrift stores and similar. Sometimes, they will try to find the people who owned the pictures, or even their descendants, and do so successfully. There are also what are called "found photos" - u/turdferguson3891 smartly mentioned these in his comment - these collectors take the old photos and make up back stories for them. I've done a few myself, it's fun.
In terms of format, and others can disagree with me, when you have a photograph where you can't identify everyone, it's ok to do something like this - "Bob Jones, unknown, Adam Smith, Betty Page, unknown" and similar.

1940? Try early 1900s.

I worked in a very old manufacturing plant, and as an engineer sometimes had to cover for night supervisors when they were on vacation. This was in the mid to late 90s.
One night I had to find an electrician, and went into one of the remote locker rooms to find him.
The entire room - walls, lockers, door, and even the ceiling, were covered with centerfolds. Even the tables had them glued to it. I was both shocked and impressed at the amount of work that took.
Even then that was not okay, but I wasnt going to be the one to point it out (and get the union guys mad at me). The place went out of business and was torn down years ago.
Funny what we used to think as normal.

Yeah - and the hairstyle on the woman at the back screams early 1920s to me.

Find older relatives, even distant that might be able to identify. Both of you will love it, my 96 year old great aunt had a great time going through all the old photos and memories with us.

Unfortunately my grandmother was an only child. I may have relatives in other states but I’m unsure. I might have to save up for a dna test.
