This is a bit more modern, we think-- albeit still early 1900's.
A lady (angel?) pulling-up another lady who is sinking into the crashing waves that suck her in as she desperately reaches out, the rock of Christ her only firm-hold in a sea of destruction created by her own iniquity of which she finally repents before she drowns and perishes eternally. (They're waves, not grasses.)

How intricate the border on a Holy Mass souvenir from 1893.

For those who cannot read it, it says in this June 12, 1911, article, "HITS EMISSION OF WEIRD NOISES AND GASOLINE FROM AUTOMOBILES" The first sentence of the article reads, "The weird noise-producing instruments used on many motor cars are a public nuisance and a menace to health...." It also mentions the New York "Society for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noises." It is really a laughable article to read. They complain about how bad horns are and such for public health-- that they are "...distinctly harmful to the nervous system" and "...should have been done away with long ago." From the Milwaukee Free [Press] (last word of paper is cut-off on opposite side; but, amusingly, the opposite side has the "Latest photograph of Bobby Burman, Auto Speed King, in mask"
