   upon further review, the NT 07/05 issue's "How to Art" section is done   
   by Kaori Mori, (take me a while to connect the kanji and the English.   
   is that a pen name?  very strange looking name indeed.)   
      
   the feature drawing, btw, are the front and back cover of book #5 with   
   Emma between the kitchen and stairway, and another picture of Emma   
   between a train station and the mansion.

   the old England I am familiar with are the Sherlock Holmes and Jack the   
   Ripper era England, I guess at that time the main traffic on the street   
   are horse carriage and bicycle with gas street lighting, trains are only   
   in between stations from city to city, is that what you mean?  I   
   probably have the cable car era confused with the time of H. Poirot   
   (1920~1940.)

   so my statement should be, wonder if the art of anime is as nice as the   
   manga.

   now after spending some efforts reading the text, just like you say,   
   that she likes maid uniform, or rather, 19th century customs and   
   clothings, (during her student days as an architect.)  and she did   
   consultes Miyazaki's artbook  when doing her drawing, especially with   
   characters's standing postion in relationship with 3d space, first   
   disassemble then reassemble, etc.
