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.

Daphne and Apollo VV1_icon13Daphne and Apollo Elinor Monsell Elinor Monsell VV1_im28 1903 p. 159 13cm x 11cm Illustration Wood-Engraving, classical/mythological, Exterior, tall field, grassland, day, Adult woman, nymph, Daphne, Plants, leaves, laurel, sun, sun rays Daphne and Apollo The image is in portrait orientation and is centered on the page within a rectilinear border. The image printed in black. In the foreground, a woman [the nymph, Daphne] is kneeling on a bed of long plants and is looking over her shoulder to the right. Her body remains facing the left. She is next to a field of tall plants and shrubs full of leaves, likely laurel bushes. The woman’s arms and hands are held upwards around her eye-level and are reaching into the field. She is draped in a loose fabric, but her arms, neck, face, and feet are exposed. The sun is represented by a blank, circular space in the top right of the image. Sun rays are shining down onto the field and the woman, evident by the shadow on her face. According to the myth, the sun is the god Apollo.
