capnography (n.)

此外（最初），亦称为 kapnography，即“以烟雾为材料绘画的技艺”（或用火焰沉积的碳）。该词于1871年出自希腊词汇 kapnos，“烟雾”（参见 capnomancy）和 -graphy。相关词汇： Capnographic； kapnographic。

Kapnography—if we are called on to christen the new Art—may be said to be the very reverse of photography. In the one, the subtle play and reflexion of light is imprisoned by the magic chemistry of the sunbeam ; in the other the human imagination guides the hand to trace designs on the very type of change and emblem of destruction. To fix the faces seen in the fire, or to delineate the ever-changing forms of the clouds, does not seem to be a more unpromising task, than that of producing Alps and glaciers, forests and châlets, waterfalls and wood-hung streams, out of very vapour of combustion—the smoke of a candle. [The Art-Journal, vol. X, 1871]

如果我们要命名这种最新的艺术，则应该称为 Kapnography。这与摄影截然相反。其中，通过魔幻的光学化学过程固定了光的微妙运动和反射； 而在另一种情况下，人类的想象引导手的运动，在灭亡的符号和变化的原材料上勾勒出设计。如同在火焰中看到的脸或是描述云朵不断变化的形态一样，制作阿尔卑斯山以及冰川、森林和 châlets，瀑布和林中流水，似乎同样没有希望，然而，这一切都可以从燃料燃烧后的烟中得到体现。——引自《艺术杂志》1871年第十期
