I did think about that one, but this one may be more appropriate as all the ingredients would have been readily available:
The lead Bleach page 71 "Leather Dressing (including dyeing, staining & finishing) 1907"
Sumac (tanners sumac), lead oxide and acetic Acid (vinegar) for "sugar of lead" (lead acetate), common Vitriol (uncertain which kind since ferric sulphate turns veg-tanned leather black and copper sulphate has no effect, would require a test) I think thats it.

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
