Hi I used to know personally Shrimati Devika Rani and Dr Svetoslav Roerich in the late 1980s. I met them regularly in Bangalore when it was still the City of beautiful gardens. I have got very warm memories of those meetings in Ashoka Hotel and at their Tataguni estate. I'd like to make a small amatour not for profit video tribute to Devika. In this connection I wonder if your foundation could extend its courtesy to me by giving a permission to use photographs of Devika exhibited in this blog? I'll need them to be clean (without copyright marks). You have got the very special and rare material related to Bombey Talkies and Devika Rani here. Thank you.
Am awfully sorry for having missed your post for so long. Anyways if you could please be so kind as to email me your request at our mail Id wirsching.foundation@gmail.com we could maybe see if we can take things further.
The Wirsching Foundation is based on the Personal Photographic Collection of the late Josef Wirsching (1903-1967).
The Foundation strives to restore,catalog,research and archive this entire collection for the benefit of the world to see and learn of the immense contribution that Josef Wirsching has made to the Film Industry as we know it.
