The two most prominent Aestheticist or Decadent literary magazines in the 1890s were the Yellow Book and the Savoy. Both arguably drew inspiration from the coterie publication the Dial, which for the first time brought together the eclectic sources of their editorial aesthetic. The later Dome can be seen as a more consistently successful yet also less provocative descendant. In this article we have chosen to examine those four journals in light of the aesthetics of the Total Work of Art, to which they all seem to have subscribed, and the fact that they, like the mainstream press, published periodical supplements. Since the ideal of the Total Work of Art stresses a highly stylized content and appearance, the editors' decision to issue supplements, thus possibly compromising that ideal, comes as a surprise. We have set ourselves to explore the various policies of the journals vis-à-vis supplements and the reasons why they seemingly could not do without them
