To reinforce Wolfgang's no doubt correct interpretation of the mustache
as a stray part of a duster, I'd like to mention the depiction of the
bibliophile among the woodcuts relating to Brant's _Ship of Fools_
(1494). He also carries a duster as his attribute.

Subject: [ARLIS-L] The Librarian's duster
Sorry : correction , Arcimboldo again. Re: my message of 07/24. The
painting I have referred to is of course the Stockholm version and not
a non-existing "Oslo version" or, to be absolutely correct, it is the
painting from Skoklosters Slott, Balesta, Sweden, which is near
Stockholm.
