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.

Tresses of the Surf VV2_icon5 Tresses of the Surf Clinton Balmer J. Miles & Co. 1905 11.5 c 11.5cm Figure Illustration, Lithograph, Outside, cliff, seaside woman, Tree, clouds, sea, waves, net Tresses of the Surf The circular lithograph, printed in soft gray inks, is positioned in the center of the page. It depicts two women sitting near the sea. The woman in the foreground sits on the ground in profile, facing left. Her torso is bare and she is wearing only a piece of light fabric draped around her lower body. Her arms are extended in front of her, and she is holding onto a net that is visible in the bottom left section of the image. The woman behind her is seated upright and is facing forwards, leaning towards the right side of the image. She also is only wearing a piece of light fabric draped around her lower body. Her right hand is extended and holding the net on the left. Her wavy long hair is blowing in the wind and blending into the background of waves and clouds. The two figures appear to be on a cliff side by the sea. The bottom half of a tree is visible in the upper left background of the image.
