It took until the 2nd half of the 19th c. before non-drying modeling clay was available. A failed formula using glycerine was proposed in the 1850s which sweated out the plasticizer. Franz Kolb patented the 1st stable, non-drying oil-based modeling clay in 1880. craftofpainting.com/art-material...

A Navajo artisan roasting yellow ochre in an iron skillet for dye for buckskin and wool. Roasting ochre to "burnt" shades of orange and red has been practiced for around 100,000 years, making it the earliest manufactured pigment. (Image from "Native Navajo Dyes" by George H. Pepper, 1903)

In the 19th c the tambourine was a novel painting support, , instantly evocative of the classical world and dancing maenads, and orientalist concepts of the Middle East. "Tambourinism" (not a real word) may have reached its height in 1885 when an art materials catalog offered them for sale.

From "The treasury of commodious conceits, and hidden secretes" by John Partridge, 16th c, a recipe for red sealing wax. If you don't mind inhaling mercury vapor every time you seal a letter, I understand it is "perfect good". (BTW I think 'fowze' means four, and 'sallet oyle' is likely olive oil.)

The "He-Man Smock". Because the smartest guy in the room always wears a belted coat and smokes a pipe at the easel.

Cassells Domestic Dictionary (19th c) entry for "Chinese or Indian Ink": "In complaints of the stomach, and in haemorrhages, it has been used medicinally, dissolved either in wine or water ; but it is chiefly employed by artists." Edward Gorey's "Amphigorey": "Be loath to drink Indian ink."

It may surprise you to learn that in the 19th c prepared canvas was available with a rubber-based ground. The rubber deteriorated over time and by the 1850s it was discontinued, but initially was reported to be a desirable support.
