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.

Wotan and Logi Depart in Search of the Reingold DIALV4_icon10 DIALV4_icon10 Wotan and Logi Depart in Search of the Reingold Reginald Savage Walker and Boutall DIALV4_17im 1896 In the middle of The Writing on the Wall between page 32 and page 33 unknown Illustration pen and ink drawing indoor setting interior room stage platform ravens horses dogs windows chair stool figure human figure male figure female figure king Wotan Logi Loge headdress chain mail crown lance torch horn Wotan and Logi Depart in Search of the Reingold The unbordered line block reproduction of an intricate pen drawing is printed in black ink and set in portrait orientation. The image depicts a close-up view of five figures from Wagner’s opera, The Reingold, inside a compressed interior space set on a wooden platform. An open doorway on the extreme left reveals an outdoor space; a cloaked arm reaches upwards at the top of the doorway and two hounds stand below, snouts in the air. The leftmost figure stares out the doorway, wearing a crown and robe. To his right, a seated young woman, pouch in her lap, appears to faint. Another woman behind her, wearing an elaborate headdress, holds her up. In front of them, an upended stool and a mallet are in the extreme foreground. Flowering vines appear to flow off of the wooden platform down towards the bottom of the frame. In the centre foreground is Wotan, his face in profile to the right. His right booted foot is propped up on a stool, the other on the ground; his wild hair streams behind him. He bends over his bent knee, looking down at the floor, holding a lance in his right hand. He wears a robe of chain mail, with a horn belted around his waist. To his right, on the extreme right edge of the picture plane, is the draped but otherwise naked Logi, his face turned to the viewer. In his right hand he carries a burning torch, while his left clutches the drapery. His hair stands up on his head in two plumes, echoing the whorls of the flaming torch. He floats just in front of the wooden platform; his feet also appear to be surrounded in flame. Behind his legs, a black raven flies to the right; two more ravens fly towards Logi from behind his hair. On the back wall, above the figures, are two open windows from which two horse heads protrude into the room. At the very top of the image, wooden beams make up the room’s ceiling. Below the image’s border, in the left corner, are the initials “RS” followed by the number “94.”
