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.

A Lady Reading SAVOYV7_icon8 SAVOYV7_icon8 A Lady Reading A.K Womrath Paul Naumann VIII November 1896 V7, p.77 13.5 x 12.5cm Illustration Pen and Ink 19th century inside night female figure woman broadsheet magazine window dress sofa chair lounge chestnut tree leaves blossoms "A Kay Womrath" A Lady Reading The line-block reproduction of Womrath’s pen-and-ink drawing is bordered by a square frame consisting of a black line, white line, black line, and then a final white line. It is in portrait orientation. The image is of a female figure reclining on a sofa chair or lounge in a decorated room with a multi-paned window. She is facing left, so that only the left side of her face is visible in profile. In her left hand she is holding a stack of broadsheet papers or a magazine that she is reading. Her dark hair extends down the back of her neck. She is wearing a long-sleeved black dress that extends past her feet in a ruffled flounce. The dress is patterned with white, upside-down double S shapes and the collar of the dress is lined with white frills. The back of the sofa chair is patterned with straight black lines and polka dots; the chair seat is covered in a highly decorated fabric containing is a series of patterns repeating in straight lines. These patterns include floral, geometric, and linear designs. The floor in the foreground is inked black. Etched onto the black wallpaper is a pattern of sunflowers drawn to look as if they sprout behind the wood paneling or wainscotting which runs in vertical strips below. The sunflowers alternate between tall and short stems. The top left corner of the illustration consists of a window made up of 16 panes separated by a white grid. On the bottom grid on the far left is a white rectangle where the author has signed his name: “A Kay Womrath.” On the other side of the windoware the are the leaves and blossoms of a chestnut tree in spring. The leaves display a five-leaf pattern and the white star-flowers form into conical tapers, broad at the base and narrow at the top.
