Description

Type of artwork: Original Antique Watercolour
Artist and Signature: Colonel Harold Percy Ditmas (1853–1937) of York
Colonel Harold Percy Ditmas (1853–1937) was a solicitor and auxiliary officer who commanded the Durham Artillery from 1895, later serving with distinction in the Boer War and World War I. 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.

A charming rural foreground with cottage, trees and field leads the eye towards the cathedral towers. This piece is part of the body of work linked to Harold P. Ditmas, a military officer and talented amateur artist.
