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.

White Nights DIALV3_icon5 DIALV3_icon5 White Nights Charles Shannon Charles Shannon DIALV3_8im 1893 In the middle of A Note on Gustave Moreau between page 12 and page 13 unknown Group of figures Original Lithograph 19th century Victorian indoor setting interor night room bedroom window female figure human figure person people clothing dress night dress apron women bed mattress wash basin pillar candlestick candle mirror White Nights The lithographic image is set into a thinly-lined rectangle on the centre of the page. The image, represented in soft grey tones, shows a view into a bedroom in which three women are preparing for night. In the left foreground stand two women in long nightdresses in front of an open doorway beside a curtained window on the leftmost wall of the room. They stand in front of a wash basin set upon a draped stone pillar. The leftmost woman is positioned in three-quarter posture, washing her hands in the basin as she turns to kiss the woman beside her. Her hair is bound on the back of her neck and her night dress slips off of her right shoulder. The women face each other as they kiss. The woman beside her has long hair hanging down her front which she clasps in her right hand. Her left hand holds a flaming candlestick out to her left. The candlestick is centred in the image and its light radiates outwards. Nearby, in the middle ground and centre right, a woman wearing an apron with her hair in a snood bends over at 90 degrees to make up a bed or mattress on the ground. The bed is between the pair of women in the foreground and the woman in the middle ground. The floor is composed of diagonal planks of wood. On the wall above the woman making the bed is a framed mirror that catches and radiates the candle’s light.
