Strickland & Russell has dated this 19th Century Maritime Watercolour to the 1870s.
He was granted the honorary rank of Colonel in 1901. A member of a long-established York military family, Ditmas was also a skilled watercolourist. Often signing his works “H.P.D.”, he produced a series of topographical views from the 1870s to the early 20th century, recording Clifton, York, Shoeburyness, and other places connected with his life and service. Today his paintings are valued both as decorative works and as important historical records of vanished or altered locations.
