Hand Puppets originated in England during the 1700's and were commonly used for public entertainment. The show mainly consisted of a small booth with a puppeteer crouched inside holding his hands up to do the show. However, in many other cases, hand puppetry was also as entertainment for the wealthier people. There would be a large rectangular 'hole' in the wall where the puppeteer/s could stand and raise their hands to a large audience in a theatre.
