"He Put the Glass to his Lips and Drank at one Gulp" is an illustration by Howard Pyle, included in the American edition of "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde," a novella written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. First published in 1886, the story is a classic of Victorian literature, exploring the duality of human nature as it follows the story of Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected scientist who creates a potion that transforms him into the malevolent Edward Hyde.

The American edition of the book, published in 1895, features Pyle's artwork, which captures a pivotal moment in Stevenson's narrative. Howard Pyle (1853–1911) was an American illustrator and author, primarily of books for young people. He is renowned for his contributions to the art of illustration and is often considered the father of American illustration.

In the illustration "He Put the Glass to his Lips and Drank at one Gulp," Pyle depicts the transformative moment when Dr. Jekyll consumes the potion that he has concocted in his laboratory. The artwork is significant for its ability to convey the themes of transformation and the unleashing of the darker side of the human psyche, which are central to Stevenson's novella. Pyle's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the emotional intensity of the scene, enhances the dramatic effect and adds a visual dimension to the literary work.

The inclusion of Pyle's illustration in the American edition of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" not only embellished the text but also helped to shape the reader's imagination and interpretation of the story. It stands as a testament to the collaboration between literature and visual arts during the late 19th century, and remains an important piece of the book's publication history.
