Dear Mr Iyer,

These are the only photographs I have, I am afraid, and as I said in my post, I got them via a friend, who got them from the Navadarshanam Trust; I have no idea if they are the original source.

However, you might want to contact Jackfruit Research and Design/Art Teaching Research (ART), based in Bangalore, and see if they have more information and photographs for you. Please email them at
fruit@jackfruitresearchdesign.com
arthistindia@yahoo.co.in

All the best,
anasuya

Hi Anita, glad you enjoyed the pics! And great to know you keep in touch with Bengaluru all the way from Copenhagen. You may want to have a look at another post I wrote, which gives details of more such pictures, from the turn of the last century. http://blogs.sanmathi.org/anasuya/2007/01/22/life-and-times-of-bangalore/

Thanks Anasuya for giving us a glimpse of our good old Bangalore.I just love my city..with all its hustle and bustle n what not!I’m now living in ‘Wonderful Copenhagen’..from 4 years with my family..but the yearning to return back to Namma Bengalooru is ever present! The M.G.Road and Hosur road pictures are too good..i couldn’t believe my eyes! Please share any other pics that u may have..would love to see n share them!

Hi Praveen, sorry for the delayed response. I’m not sure that I’m the person to ask for permission, really, since I received the photographs, as I said in the post, courtesy Navadarshanam Trust and via a friend. Could you check with Navadarshanam, and I’ll do my best to track down the originals too?

Silkboard, thumba dhanyavadagalu! Many thanks for the online tech advice… good thing too, considering Ashwin is still blurry and bleary post his Vegas experience. I’m not much better, considering I was back home only two days ago after a New Jersey experience, but that’s another post.

Oh wow! Hosur road pic is worth framing and saving. I can see the images slightly larger by removing the trailing “thumbnail” in their names. like:
