Today I am adding another extract from the 1959 cine this on shows three ladies filling their very large brass water pots from an outside tap.
Then a 45 second cine extract which is 22.8 Megabytes in size.
Admirer of Paul Raj Paintings
- Gold Finch
- Paul was born in Kodaikanal on 22 September 1914 and died on 2 October 1979. G D Arulraj was born in 1925 and died in June 1972 while visiting India. Arul worked at Laguna Beach in the 60's and 1970's. G D Thyagaraj might have been born in 1922 and I am told that he probably died sometime before 1981. He moved to northern India as a young man. I lived in India as a child and spent a lot of time in Calcutta. My mother purchased several paintings directly from Paul Raj while living in Madras and this got me interested in his works. I then discovered he had two brothers Arul Raj and Thyaga Raj who were both fantastic artists. I could not find much information on the internet so decided to set up my own blog. Subsequently a Facebook tribute site has also been created to the memory of the three brothers. Contact me at: rajbrothers@hotmail.co.uk

G D Paulraj - Ladies doing the dhobi
Painting by G D Paulraj today shows a group of women doing the dhobi in a stream. Similar to the cine films I added recently.
Dhobi cine taken in 1959
More extracts from my family cine film taken in 1959. There are two different clips of dhobis at work one taken at a stream and the second at the beach.
These scenes match several paintings painted by G D Paulraj.
Fishermen cine taken in 1959
Today I am adding some clips from a cine showing some fishermen hauling in their nets in at Vizagapatnam on the east coast of India taken in early 1959. I have added the sounds of the waves as the camera did not record any sound.
Women waiting to collect the catch and carry it off in their baskets to sell.
Women trying to sell fish on the beach with huge baskets carried on their heads.
Hauling in the nets up onto the beach.
Short cine film lasting 39 seconds showing the fishermen hauling in their nets and a crowd watching.
