Peep show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Peep shows, also known as peep box or raree show ("rarity show") trace back to ancient times (15th century in Europe, by Leon Battista Alberti) and are known in various cultures. |
 | | Possible shows were exotic views and animals, scenes of classical drama or masques, court ceremonies, surprise transformations, e.g., of an angel into a devil, and of course, lewd pictures. |
 | | By an analogy, the term "peep show" is applied to a piecewise presentation of pornographic films using a coin-operated gadget, which shuts the view after a short time period, requiring more coins to be deposited for continuation. |
