The illustration from *Frankenstein* by Theodor von Holst is a significant piece of visual art that has contributed to the cultural and artistic interpretation of Mary Shelley's seminal 1818 novel, *Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus*. Theodor von Holst (1810–1844) was a German-born British artist known for his romantic and gothic inspired works, which made him an apt choice for illustrating the 1831 edition of Shelley's novel. This edition was significant as it was the first to be illustrated, and von Holst's work played a crucial role in shaping the visual representation of the novel's themes and characters for future generations.

Von Holst's illustration is particularly notable for its depiction of the moment when Victor Frankenstein beholds the creature he has created. The artwork captures the horror and revulsion of Frankenstein in the moment of the creature's animation, a pivotal scene that lays the foundation for the novel's exploration of themes such as the pursuit of knowledge, the nature of creation and creator, and the consequences of isolation and rejection. The illustration is characterized by its gothic elements, with dramatic lighting and shadowing that emphasize the horror and emotional turmoil of the scene.

This piece not only serves as a visual companion to Shelley's text but also as an important artifact in the history of book illustration, demonstrating the role of visual art in interpreting and disseminating literary works. Von Holst's illustration has been influential in shaping the public's imagination of the Frankenstein story, influencing subsequent visual adaptations in film, television, and other media. The work is a testament to the enduring power of Shelley's novel and its capacity to inspire artistic creativity across different mediums and generations.
