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.

“Now more than ever seems it rich to die, / To cease upon the midnight with no pain.” After and Pen-and-Ink Sketch SAVOYV7_icon6 SAVOYV7_icon6 Ave Atque Vale [Hail and Farewell] Aubrey Beardsley Paul Naumann VI November 1896 V7, p.53 15.2 x 9.5 cm Illustration Pen and Ink Antiquity Rome Outside Male figure Tree Toga “A.B” [caps] “AVE ATQUE VALE” [caps] [trans: Hail and Farewell, from Catullus] Ave Atque Vale [Hail and Farewell] The line-block reproduction of a pen-and-ink drawing by Beardsley is bordered by a rectangular box in portrait orientation and illustrates Beardsley’s facing poem, “Catullus,” on page 52. The title of the image is hand-lettered in the top left of the image; it reads: “AVE ATQUE VALE” [caps]. This translates as “Hail and Farewell,” the ending of one of the most well-known eulogies by the Latin poet, Catullus (Carmen 101), which Beardsley translates into English verse. The illustration is of a classical male figure who takes up almost all of the right side of the picture plane. He is bare-chested, but wearing a black toga that covers his lower half and his right side, extending over the top of his right shoulder. His right arm is extended away from his body, bent at the elbow in a gesture of farewell. The figure’s body is facing towards the viewer, but his head is turned right. He has curling hair that extends just past his shoulders. Directly behind the figure’s head in the upper right corner, stands a thicket of trees. They consist of black trunks and white dotted leaves. The artist’s initials are printed in the bottom left corner below the border: “A.B” [caps].
