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.

The top of the man’s face is exposed. However, the rest of his body is draped in a light fabric. A circular shield with one right wing is leaning against the man’s lower body. The left door to the garden is standing open. Both doors are decorated with a tracery pattern of growing roots and ripening fruits. The open door provides passage to a woodland landscape. Bricked steps raised one level lead to the woodland landscape where three tall evergreen trees are distinctly depicted. To the bottom left of the walled garden, a small signature, “LH” is present. The image has a header: line one: “The Blue Moon,” line two: “By Laurence Housman,”line three: “London: John Murray 1904.” The image has a footer: line one: “Engraved by,” line two: “Clemence Housman.” The image is framed by a wide decorative border, detailed with intertwining vines, leaves, and bunches of grapes.
