Description
The text supplies no specific physical features for Blakiston, so his appearance cannot be established reliably. He is identified as an explorer and observer; any portrait should avoid assigning him a particular age, build, complexion, hair, eyes, or distinguishing marks. Practical travel clothing may suggest his role, but its style and details are not specified.
