Puppets are ancient toys, with roots in many cultures. In modern times they are still used to entertain groups of adults and children. Types of puppets range from the simplest finger puppets to multi-controlled hybrid designs used to help with movie production. Few things are as interesting, to a child of a certain age, as a hand puppet. A studio photographer in the early 1950s knew this, when he offered children a puppet as a prop. It doubtless guaranteed a genuine smile!
