Our editorial method is informed by social-text editing principles. By “text” we mean verbal and visual printed material, including non-referential physical elements such as bindings, page layouts, and ornaments. We view any text as the outcome of collaborative processes that have specific manifestations at precise historical moments. The Yellow Nineties Online publishes facsimile editions of a select collection of fin-de- siècle aesthetic periodicals, together with paratexts of production and reception such as cover designs, advertising materials, and reviews. This historical material is enhanced by two kinds of peer-reviewed scholarly commentary: biographies of the periodicals’ contributors and associates; and critical introductions to each title and volume by experts in the field. All scholarly material on the site is vetted by the editor(s) and peer- reviewed by them and/or an international board of advisors. The site as a whole is peer- reviewed by NINES (Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-Century Electronic Scholarship). Contributors to the site retain personal copyright in their material. The site is licensed with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 license. Both primary and secondary materials, including all visual images, are marked up in TEI- (Textual-Encoding Initiative) compliant XML (Extensible Markup Language). To ensure maximum flexibility for users, magazines are available on the site as virtual objects (facsimiles) in FlipBook form; in HTML for online reading; in PDF for downloading and collecting; and in XML for those who wish to review and/or adapt our tag sets. In order to make ornamental devices, such as initial letters, head- and tail- pieces, searchable, we have developed a Database of Ornament in OMEKA, and linked it to the relevant pages of each magazine edition. As a dynamic structure, a scholarly website is always in process; Phase One of The Yellow Nineties Online (2010-2015) is completed and Phase Two (2016-2021) is underway.

<rs>PAG1_icon1</rs>Front Cover, Charles Ricketts, T and A Constable PAG1_1im 1896 26cm x 19cm, Gift Impressing, Gilt on cloth boards, Doves, birds, plants, flowers, willow leaves</note>  <head>Front Cover</head>  <figDesc>The front cover is bound in a claret-coloured cloth and features letters and images in gold gilt impressing. The title, “The Pageant,” appears in all capital letters, centred beneath the top edge. The title is followed by a willow leaf and a small flower. Directly beneath the title, the year “1896” appears, centred and followed by an identical willow leaf and flower. The cover features six gilt-impressed doves: three spaced along the spine, and another three spaced along the vertical edge. All six doves face right toward the vertical edge. There are two different versions of these doves that alternate with each other. The doves used in the upper-right and the bottom-right corners along the vertical edge as well as at the mid-point along the spine carry a plant in their beaks with two flowers among the leaves. By contrast, the doves in the upper-left and lower-right corners along the spine as well as the dove placed at the midpoint along the vertical edge carry the same plant in their beaks, but with an additional three leaves and two flowers appearing beneath the dove, suggesting that they are clutching an additional plant in their claws. In the lower left corner, between the dove and the vertical edge, the artist’s initials, “CR,” appear in gilt impressing. </figDesc>  </figure> </div> </body> </text> </TEI>
