Nyctography is a form of substitution cipher writing created by Lewis Carroll (also author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland) in 1891. It is written with a nyctograph (a device invented by Carroll) and uses a system of dots and strokes based on a dot in the upper left corner. Using the Nyctograph, one could quickly jot down ideas or notes without the aid of light. Carroll invented the Nyctograph and Nyctography as he was often awakened during the night with thoughts that needed to be written down at once and didn't want to go through the lengthy process of lighting a lamp only to have to extinguish it then.
