Figure 1.--Here we see three American brothers having their picture taken for a family snap shot in the living room. The photograph was taken in 1967 just as color photography was beginning to become more common. |

Living room is an American term. There are major differences from country to country. American homes and apartments tend to be larger than those in Europe. And this living rooms and family rooms tend to be larger and more important. American living rooms commonly have sofas, stuffed chairs, occasional tables, bookshelves, and lamps. Fire places are popular, but optional. Most families wanted one if thery could afford them. The living room for many middle-class families is a mukltiple purpose room. More affluent families might have other rooms (dens and recreational rooms) that take on some of the finctions of a basic living room in more modest homes. If here was go be a photograph of the familky, especially of the kids, perhaps for the annual Christmas card, it would be normally taken in the living romm.
