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.

Et in Arcadia Ego SAVOYV8_icon13 SAVOYV8_icon13 Et in Arcadia Ego Aubrey Beardsley Paul Naumann XIII December 1896 V8, p.89 20 x 13.8cm Illustration Pen and Ink 1890s outdoors exterior park garden Et in Arcadia Ego The framed illustration, in portrait orientation, uses a line-block reproduction of Beardsley’s pen-and-ink design.. The image depicts a contemporary man in a tailcoat in a garden or park standing before a large column with an urn on top. Situated on the right of the composition, the tall white column is partially covered by the leaves of a tall bush. Around its base there is long grass and a variety of plants and flowers. On the column is etched the illustration’s title: “ET IN ARCADIA EGO” [caps]. Atop the column rests a large covered urn with a thin base and a rounded body. The body of the urn is wreathed in a looping garland that is tied with evenly spaced bows. The top of the urn is tiered; atop the smallest tier rests a circular knob. A dark tree extends up from behind the column, it continues to the left side of the image and gets cut off by the top edge of the illustration. The grass on the left side of the image is shorter, A man stands on the left of the composition in profile, facing the column on the right. He is in mid step towards the column. He has a black mustache and black hair; he is balding. He has a white tailcoat that extends down to his knees. He has a black shirt under the coat and a white cravat at his neck. He has grey trousers on that are tucked in at the bottom into white and black pumps. His right hand is tucked behind his back. His left hand is extended out slightly. In it he holds a white handkerchief and cane. The artist’s initials “AB” [caps] are hand printed in the bottom right corner of the image.
