The first engraving has such a dreamlike quality.
Gothic imagination apppears to merge into the pictuesque with Gothic arches festooned with picturesque ivy.

The second one reminds me of a painted postcard.

Thankyou indeed for these pictures, Julie.

I've read JA visited Netley Abbey which was an inspiration to her work. I'm wondering if JA considered such ruins as gothic or pictuesque. I believe gothic really dervived from literary tradition while picturesque 'from pictures' as the name suggests.

What a contrast to what Catherine found at Northanger Abbey !

An abbey !-yes, it was delightful to really be in an abbey !- but she doubted, as she looked around the room, whether anything within would have given her the consciousness. The furniture was all the profusion and elegance of modern taste. The fire-place
where she had expected the ample and ponderous carving of former times was contracted to a Rumsford, with slabs of plain though handsome marble, and ornaments over it off the prettiest English china. The windows , to which she looked with peculiar dependence,...-but every pane was so large, so clear, so light ! To an imagination which had hoped for the smallest divisions, and the heaviest stonework, for painted glass, dirt and cobwebs, the difference was very distressing.' Ch. 20.

Poor Catherine ! All those renovations and a Rumsford heater.
No doubt a ruined abbey, adapted to the landscape would have been her preference.
