The editors wish to thank the many colleagues at the Van Gogh Museum and Huygens ING who contributed to the research and the production of the 2009 book and web edition, on which this anthology is based, as well as the team of translators, headed by Michael Hoyle, who were responsible for the English translations of Van Gogh’s letters for the 2009 edition that were used in this book. We are very grateful to Philip Watson of Thames & Hudson and Suzanne Bogman of the Van Gogh Museum for their invaluable help in the production of this publication.
