Inside the leather-bound cover of the passport is a 12 x 10 inch sheet of high quality paper that has the texture of fabric, folded into eighths to fit between the front and back cover. One side of the sheet includes the names of Miguel’s father and mother, his signature, the date, that photograph, and more. The back shows the stamps of several trips he made to the US, including his very first on June 26, 1939.
