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.

Front Cover VV1_icon1Front Cover Laurence Housman VV1_im1 1903 27cm x 20cm Illustration Wood-Engraving Countryside, coastline, Man; Hermes, Column, herm, arrows, bow, quiver, mountain, shadow Front Cover The image is in portrait orientation and positioned on the left to fit the length of the cover. The image is printed in black on brown boards. Atop a rectangular column, the upper body of a man with short, dark hair is positioned upright and facing forward (such a column is called a herm). The man’s head is turned to the right and slightly downwards. He is drawing an arrow; he is using his left arm to balance the bow and his right hand to pull the arrow back. The man is wearing a small knotted fabric on his waistline and a strap across his chest is attached to a bag or quiver with arrows. In the background there is a dark coastline receding towards the left side of the image, a dock at its end, and the outline of a large hill. The man’s shadow is on the right ground beneath him. “The Venture” is transcribed in small capital letters at the center of the image, just below the figure’s bow.
