The illustration, a handcolored copperplate engraving, is taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany, published in London in 1792.

This print of the Siberian Rubythroat is a prime example of the meticulous attention to detail and dedication to scientific accuracy that characterized such works. Today, the Siberian Rubythroat remains a beloved and intriguing species among ornithologists and bird enthusiasts.
