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.

Across the top of the page appears the title in display type: “THE SAVOY” [large caps]. Below the title is the centred subtitle in a smaller font that reads: “AN ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY” [caps]. On the subsequent line below, left aligned, is “No. 7”. Centred is the date: “November 1896” and right aligned is: “Price 2/-”. On the line below and printed in a lighter font reads: “EDITED BY ARTHUR SYMONS” [small caps]. This publishing information takes up the top third of the cover design, within its own bordered section. The illustration below, occupying two-thirds of the cover design, features two central figures on a pathway curving across the foreground with short plants and grasses in front of the path. The figure on the right is a man facing in profile to the left; he is almost the height of the illustration section of the cover. He stands midstep with his left elbow at his side and his left hand stretched out before him. His right hand is raised to eye-level and in it, he holds an open book. He is wearing a wrap or turban around his head with his hair sticking out the front and back. He is wearing round glasses and has an ascot tied about his neck. His white smock extends just beyond his knees. His white pants are tucked into his back shoes. To his left on the path is a smaller, Pierrot figure, turning back to look up at the first man. Pierrot stands at shoulder height to the first figure. Pierrot has a downturned mouth and downturned eyes. He is wearing a striped tunic that extends to his knees with a thin white belt tied around his waist. The bottoms of his breeches are tucked into knee-length black socks and he has white shoes. Stretching out past the pathway, in the background, is a field that rises to a horizon a third of the way up the page. At the horizon’s edge, centred in the middle ground, stands a four-bladed windmill. The sky is clear other than a few birds in a curving line and a cloud on the right edge. In the foreground on the path stand two figures. Aubrey Beardsley’s initials “AB” [caps] are featured in a white box in the bottom right corner of the image.
