This print depicts the incident in Act I when  Lubin Log makes his entrance having made a stage coach journey to York to stay with his uncle Jeremiah Jewson. He takes his night bag, umbrella and his great coat from the coachman, and when asked by him to 'remember the coachman sir', Log replies that 'it's quite optional' but offers a sixpenny tip to share with the guard. \n\nListon became known as the greatest comedian of his age, and one of the best-paid. He played the role of Lubin Log many times, and his success in this and other notable roles such as Mawworm and Paul Pry was immortalised in a wide range of prints, ceramics and other merchandise purchased by a host of fans that included King George IV.","physicalDescription":"The print depicts the incident in Act 1, Scene 1 of James Kenney's <i>Love, Law, and Physic</i> in which John Liston as Lubin Log offers a sixpenny tip to the coachman, to share with the guard.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"engravers","id":"AAT25165"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"printing ink","id":"AAT187371"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"print-making","id":"AAT131119"},{"text":"engraving","id":"AAT53225"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Lithograph on paper","categories":[{"text":"Entertainment & Leisure","id":"THES48959"},{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&P","id":"THES48602"},"images":["2015HW8459"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"005","id":"THES356731"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":"AAT41273"}],[{"text":"engraving","id":"AAT41340"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca.1812","earliest":"1807-01-01","latest":"1816-12-31"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":"probably"}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Gabrielle Enthoven Collection","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"14.7","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approximately","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"9.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approximately","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'Love, Law, and Physic. / <i>Coachman.</i>  Sixpence, sir? / <i>Lubin Log.</i>  Yes; between you and the guard. / <i>Act I.
