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.

Hodgson Lobley, Rembrandt Intaglio Co, 1905, 15 x 12 cm, Illustration, Pen and Ink, Renaissance, England, Outside, hilled landscape, day, Man, woman, jester, child, crowd, dancers, Jester’s hat, stilts, crown, robe, dress, bonnet, baton,, trees, hills, birds The Fair The black-and-white image is in portrait orientation and is tipped in on the center of the page. The image depicts an outdoor scene in which a crowd of people is moving in procession from right to left. In the extreme foreground, near the bottom right corner, a young girl with her hair tied back in a bow walks forward, holding out the bottom of her apron in curtsy position. Immediately behind her are a man and woman, who turn to each other to converse. The man is dressed in a Renaissance-style doublet and leggings, wears a turban or rounded crown made of fabric, and carries a baton or pace. The woman to his right wears a long, light-coloured dress covered by a heart-stamped apron and a feathered turban or hat; she is also carrying a baton or pace stick. Behind this couple, a jester brandishing loops of bells in each hand is elevated on a barrel. Behind the jester, there are two men on stilts wearing tall, rounded hats; behind them is a large crowd of people, dancing. There are tall trees in the right background and a hilled landscape in the far distance behind the crowd. There are two birds in the sky to the left of the jester. There is a small inscription “JHL 1904” on the bottom left corner of the image.
