The crown of wild olive; four lectures on work, traffic, war, and the future of England
John Ruskin's four lectures on work, traffic, war, and England's future, issued in 1900 by W. B. Conkey of Chicago as a cheap reprint for American general readers. Wash-and-ink plates by commercial illustrators show a doorway encounter between gentleman and beggar, a caped figure before a gallery of murals, and a crossing-sweeper soliciting a couple, plus a photographic portrait of Ruskin.
