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.

The Book-plate of Marie Antoinette SAVOYV6_icon6 SAVOYV6_icon6 The Book-plate of Marie Antoinette Ch. Eisen Paul Naumann VI October 1896 V6, p.53 16.8 x 11.25 cm Scene Bookplate 18th century Paris France Hyperion Marie Antionette Wreath Garland Cartouche Painting frame Chariot Torch Gown Tome Harp Violin “Bibliothèque de Madame la Dauphine. N° I.” The Book-pate of Marie Antoinette The engraved book-plate is in portrait orientation with a uniform light grey border. The image has another inner border that is carved to look like a wooden painting frame. The sides and top of the frame have tendrils of garland coiling around them. Across the bottom of the frame hangs a larger wreath of garland that borders a cartouche. The cartouche is bordered at the top with a shorter wreath of garland. On the cartouche are the words “Bibliothèque de Madame la Dauphine. N° I.” (Library of Madame la Dauphine, i.e., Marie Antoinette, last Queen of France). The painting frame is rectangular and uniform except for at the bottom where it hooks around the cartouche. Running perpendicular between the edges are thin and tightly spaced lines. The frame does not encompass the outer sections of the bottom wreath. These parts of the wreath rest instead on an attachment below the frame. This section below the frame has the same dimensions as the frame itself. The rest of the image within the frame consists of a central female figure (the Queen) with two women on each side of her. Flying with wings above is a winged figure, and above him is the back half of a horse standing on a cloud and pulling a chariot to the left off the picture plane. The angel or winged figure, possibly Hyperion, is flying down towards the central figure and is wearing loose flowing robes. In his right hand he holds a torch which is shining a beam of light directly onto a magnifying glass he holds in his left hand. Of the five figures on the ground, the left-most is also winged. She has dark robes that extend to her feet and a wreath in her hair. She faces right with her left hand extended palm up and a tome or book in her right hand that she is presenting to the central woman. The central woman/Queen is wearing an ornate eighteenth-century gown. The skirts flow down to her feet, and her petticoat consists of ruffles down the sleeves to her elbows. Her right hand is gripping the tome or book. Her head is turned to face the winged woman on her right. All the other figures are looking at the centre figure. The other three figures are all wearing chitons that extend to their knees. Two of the three stand behind the central woman looking over her shoulder. The third stands at the right edge of the book-plate with her left hand extended out and wrapped in garland that extends from the frame. On the ground between the winged woman and the central woman rest a harp and a violin.
