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.

My Hair is Filled with Drops of the Night DIALV2_icon7 My Hair is Filled with Drops of the Night Charles Ricketts Charles Ricketts DIALV2_15im 1892 AE 10cm x 10cm Illustration Wood engraving 1900 Small room, garden, woman, lantern, radiant light, flowers, vines, mill, press My Hair is Filled with Drops of the Night PROSE DESCRIPTION The small black and white woodcut is in portrait orientation and is centered on the page. The woodcut is enclosed in a small square with a dark border. The right foreground depicts an unclothed woman with long hair in a small room with a lantern set on the floor. The woman is facing forward, but her lower body is turned to the right. Her left arm is held upwards against her face and her right hand is positioned by her right hip. Only the woman’s left thigh that is bent is visible, as her long hair covers the rest of her lower body. Beneath her is a lantern emanating light. To the woman’s right is a wall bordered with various vines and flowers. To the left of the woman is an open window, through which a dark male figure wearing a head garment leans in and rests his arms on the sill. Beneath the sill are two small rectangular figurines and a ladle (?). He is facing the inside of the small room. Only his right profile is visible. Outside the small room behind the male figure appears to be a garden of vines (possibly grape) and a wine or apple press in the distance. The initials “CR” are marked in a dark rectangle with white letters in the bottom left corner of the woodcut. Centered above the woodcut, the text “I am come into my garden my sister my spouse O Beloved.” is set with letterpress and decorative fleurons. Below the woodcut on the bottom left is the title, “The Shebalite,” and the verse: “I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my Beloved that knocketh saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew and my locks with the drops of the night.” [from Song of Solomon in the Bible]. Below the woodcut on the bottom right “CHAP V” is printed.
