I believe that the first picture is showing how the servants were starting the street fight.The second picture is showing how at last there was peace between both families."Draw, if you be men, Gregory remember thy swashing blow. they fight". When romeo & Juliet die everything is finally peaceful & everybody comes back together. I believe those are the  meanings & differences between the ancient pictures because i guess that's what really happened in the story.
