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.

felix SAVOYV8_icon14 SAVOYV8_icon14 Cover Design for A Book of Fifty Drawings by Aubrey Beardsley Aubrey Beardsley Paul Naumann XIV December 1896 V8, p.96 12.5 x 10cm Illustration Pen and Ink 19th century outdoors indoors river female figure curtains chair "left: Aubrey//Beardsley" "centre: london//Leonard Smithers//{address?]//1897" felix The framed illustration, in portrait orientation, uses a line-block reproduction of Beardsley’s pen-and-ink design. The illustration is an advertisement for a book of 50 drawings by Aubrey Beardsley. The image is divided into three sections. The first section is a banner across the top of three lines of text. The first line reads, “A BOOK OF FIFTY DRAWINGS” [caps]. The next line reads, “BY” [caps] in a smaller font. The third and final line is in the same size font as the first line and reads, “Aubrey Beardsley” [caps]. The second section of the image is demarcated vertically. It takes up the left third of the page. It is blank save for the black silhouette of a bird (possibly a swallow) in descending flight. The edge of the bird’s wing crosses over into the third and final section of the image which takes up the rightmost two thirds of the illustration. This section features a dark haired woman in a white dress sitting on a black chair. Her body is facing the right side of the page but her head is turned to the left. White curtains fall behind her to the left. Behind her on the right is a landscape with a river, whose far bank is black and has three trees.
