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.

A FEW PRESS NOTICES

THE DAILY CHRONICLE and "A HAPPY VENTURE":

“It would not be an easy task to make a selection of pieces of prose and verse so representative of the younger modern literature as this. . . . The verse of Mr Laurence Binyon, Mr John Masefield, Mr A. E. Housman and Mr John Gray is of unusual beauty . . . . there are fifteen full-page wood-cuts, most of them full of character and charm. . . . We are especially pleased with the work of Mr C. H. Shannon, Mr C. S. Ricketts, Mr Lau- rence Housman and Miss Louise Glazier. . . . The literary pieces seem to us to be the work not only of the pre- sent day but, in a sense, of the future too. The literature to come is in the cauldron: these are its first products. Many of the stories and verses, viewed separately, are so distinguished from the literature of the past, that we should be justified in this view. The twenty pieces, viewed together, are overwhelming proof. Ten years ago, so much originality, and that with the merit of promise as well as of achievement, would have been impossible. . . . This is the work of a new age. We hope that the authors and artists will not be contented, but will ‘Venture' again and again,”

The Venture, 1904

A FEW PRESS NOTICES Continued

DAILY NEWS:“THE 'Venture’ is the lineal descendant of ‘The Hobby Horse,’ ‘The Pageant,’ etc. The prose is excellent. . . Mr Chesterton writes ingeniously on ‘The Philosophy of Islands,’ while the editor, Mr Laurence Housman, con- tributes some ‘Proverbial Romances’ as wise and witty as those of Mr Crosland.”

PUNCH:“MY Nautical Retainer heartily welcomes a magazine that promises, under excellent auspices, at least to set a high standard in the field of belles lettres. Bona ventura to The Venture!”

DAILY MIRROR:“MR John Baillie has published a new annual of art and literature: ‘The Venture,’ with woodcuts and literary contributions by some of the leading illustrators, poets and essayists of the day. It is got up in faultless taste, and the printing leaves nothing to be desired.”

MANCHESTER GUARDIAN:“IT is an excellent and distinguished volume.”

TO-DAY:“SHORTLY before Christmas I received from the publisher—John Baillie, 1 Princes Terrace, Hereford Road, W.— a specimen copy of a new ‘annual of art and literature,’ edited by Laurence Housman and W. Somerset Maug- ham, and I fear me it will say little for my business aptitude when I confess that I only took it from its packing and glanced within its covers the other evening. Now that I have made acquaintance with its contents, I regret the delay the more, and can only trust that Mr Baillie has yet sufficient copies in stock to execute the small order I intend to give him; for I think there are not a few of my artistically-inclined customers who, now that the Yellow Book’ and ‘Savoy’ are no more, will gladly welcome a publication that aims at high literary and artistic excellence; and, indeed, the volume should appeal to two distinct publics. For while to the artists the names of such contributors as C. H. Shannon, Charles Ricketts, Lucien Pissarro, Bernard Sleigh, T. S. Moore and E. Gor- don Craig, to mention but a few of many, will prove an irresistible attraction, the lover of literature will be still more delighted to find such writers as Thomas Hardy, Laurence Binyon, Richard Garnett, G. K. Chesterton, E. F. Benson, Stephen Phillips, Charles Marriott, Netta Syrett, Violet Hunt and John Masefield represented among the literary contents. All this for five shillings, nicely printed in modern black letter type, with wide margins, is not only good artistically but cheap commercially.”

MADAME:“ONE can only wish this book the best and recommend it to one’s readers. It would make a charming present to anyone who appreciates clever verse and prose.”

SUNDAY SPECIAL:“A caprrat band of contributors. In selecting type for the printing due regard has been paid to the traditions of Morris, and the general arrangement of the contents reflects credit on publisher and editors.”

NOTTINGHAM EVENING TELEGRAPH:“IF it can be kept up to this level we shall look forward to the future numbers of ‘The Venture.’”

❧ ❧ ❧

JOHN BAILLIE requests Readers of the Venture to honour his Gallery by a visit. Exhibitions of Modern Art held monthly. The introduction of the work of young and little-known artists is a special feature of the Gallery. The Gallery is open each day (Sundays excepted) from 10 to 6 o'clock and admission is free.

What the Press says of the Gallery:

THE Exhibition just opened by Mr John Baillie fully equals in interest the many shows he has organized at his Gallery in the past.— Morning Post, Sep. 29, 1904.

One has learned to expect something fresh and attractive in the picture exhibitions which Mr John Baillie holds from time to time at Princes Terrace, and his first autumn show, which opens to-day, well maintains the reputation of his Gallery.— Daily Chronicle, September 29, 1904.

There is an outlying Gallery in Bayswater (Mr Baillie’s at 1 Princes Terrace) where some interesting work has been shown during the last two years.— Saturday Review, July 23, 1904.

One of the most interesting of the many interesting exhibitions which Mr John Baillie has held in his Gallery at Princes Terrace, Bayswater, was that of Mr Charles Agard, etc.— The Studio, September, 1904.

Mr John Baillie, in the Gallery, Princes Terrace, continues to arrange shows of genuine interest.— Art Journal, March, 1904.

The Gallery of John Baillie is always more or less productive of a show, the chief interest of which often lies in the introduction of a new man.— The Queen, June 14, 1904.

Mr John Baillie has a wonderfully happy knack of discovering unusually good artists, with whom the public at large is unfortunately too little ac- quained as a rule. — World, March 16, 1904.

Mr Baillie’s Gallery is now well known to Londoners who wish to see what our younger and less conventional artists are doing.— Manchester Guardian, September 29, 1904.

The little pilgrimage to Mr Baillie’s Gallery at 1 Princes Terrace is thoroughly worth making.— Standard, April 1, 1904.

The Connoisseur will generally find something of interest at Mr John Baillie’s Gallery. — Vanity Fair, February 4, 1904.

Mr Baillie’s Galleries are the most artistic in town, and the lover of art- istic things should never pass his doors,— Academy and Literature, Jan. 2, 1904.
