The thirteen images depict the landscape of Yorkshire and picturesque architectural views such as rural cottages, ancient stone walls, and overgrown, ruined abbeys. The crumbling Gothic church was a quintessentially Romantic theme, intended to allude to a lost past. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1991.233/1991.233_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1991.233/1991.233_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1991.233/1991.233_full.tif
