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.

The Lotos Eaters DIALV3_icon11 DIALV3_icon11 The Lotos Eaters Reginald Savage Messrs Walker and Boutall (line block engraving) DIALV3_18im 1893 In the middle of Old Kitty between page 28 and page 29 unknown Illustration pen and ink drawing Classical Greece outdoor setting exterior day water ocean boat ship flowers lotus flowers human figure person male figure mythological figure female figure siren Odysseus robe sailors canvas ropes The Lotos Eaters The unframed black-and-white rectangular drawing, reproduced by line-block engraving by Walker & Boutall, is shown in portrait orientation. It illustrates Tennyson’s poem “The Lotos Eaters.” The image depicts a close-up view of a ship inside which Odysseus and his men lie in a trance, lotus flowers growing out of the hold, with sirens surrounding them. At the top of the image, in the background, a group of five sirens loom over the ship; their hair and bodies are stretched and curved, giving the appearance of ocean waves. The siren at the top left of the image lies on the top deck of the ship, playing a small harp. In the ship, six robed men with long, curly hair lie sleeping. Several of them lean on the sides of the ship on the right middle and foreground, and another lies in the left foreground, his face turned towards the viewer. The head of another sleeping figure is visible in the left middleground. In the extreme right foreground, facing away from the viewer, Odysseus is lashed to the ship’s mast, wrapped in canvas and ropes.. In the top left corner are stylized initials, or the artist’s monogram; The line of the capital “R” extends down and is crossed by an “S.”
