The Mirror
The Mirror
The mirror is the primary tool for checking and altering one's
appearance. Americans spend time in front of the mirror in direct
proportion to their concern with their appearance. This is by no means a
strictly American custom or artifact, however. Reflecting devices have
been used this way since the beginnings of recorded history. This mirror
produces a reflected image by using a piece of glass to
support a silvery paint, with a protective coating on the back.
This particular mirror is attached to a door on the medicine cabinet,
which shows the designer's desire to save space. In a small house like
this one,
space is precious, but the mirror doesn't take up a significant amount. A
mirror this small is relatively inexpensive. The mirror and sink usually
serve as the focal point of daily grooming exercises.
