Dittrich was one of the photographers to the Court of Egypt. American journalist Amédée Baillot de Guerville refers to him in his book ''New Egypt'' (1905) by stating:"To those in Cairo I can thoroughly recommend either M. Lekégian or M. Dittrich, photographer to the Court. The latter has a wonderful collection of portraits, admirably done, of all the more important persons. His rooms are a real museum of all the celebrities, masculine and feminine, whom Cairo has known in the last five-and-twenty years."
