Da fuck is a drawing room?
It's the receiving room more-formal than the parlor and smaller than the salon.
Hahaha I was about to drop my latest selection of jams to draw to... How uncultured of me.
well Ive been wrong, Ive been under the impression for awhile that it was a room for doing art in, for when relatively rich people that can afford rooms for random things happen to also be artists.
Good heavens, no. Imagine if one shifted the atelier into the drawing room. It would be sheer bedlam. One can only imagine where every new servant in the house would be putting things.
I thought it was a lair from before the development of homemade printed circuit boards. So instead of inviting people to look at your etchings, you'd have drawings instead.
I believe that you're thinking of the long gallery.
