Congratulations to Annie Woolmer, winner of this competition, drawn at random from the hundreds of correct answers we received.

This week’s competition prize is Vincent Van Gogh: Ever Yours, The Essential Letters, by Leo Jansen, Hans Luijten and Nienke Bakker (eds.) (Yale University Press, £30)

In 2009, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam received much acclaim for its six-volume edition of the artist’s correspondence. The editors of that project have now made a colourful selection from it, which they publish here alongside many historic family photographs and facsimiles of some 87 of the letters themselves. A fitting tribute in the year that marks the 125th anniversary of the artist’s death.
