Several of these people are to be seen in a photograph dating from 1915 (see Nico van Wageningen, De Boerenhoek. Geschiedenis van het protestantisme in Etten. Etten-Leur 1985, pp. 62-63, 75).

    ...map that exactly matches Van Gogh’s description has been traced; Erica has existed since 1863, so the map must date from between 1863 and 1883.

By ‘Oosterheuvelen’ Van Gogh must mean the village of ‘Oosterhesselen’. It is also possible that it was the sixth edition (1883) of the map of Drenthe by J.J. Jaeger, published by W.J.F.
