South African surgeon (1922–2001) who, in 1967, performed the first human-to-human heart transplant. Barnard’s personal passport, number C678250, issued on January 31, 1983. Passport measures 3.75 x 5.5, and contains personal information, written in a different hand,on the second page. Affixed below the personal information page is his 1.5 x 2.25 passport snapshot, his blue ballpoint signature affixed on a clipped sheet of paper directly below. Bottom of the photo and the signature bear an imprint of a State Department seal. Several of the inside pages bear official visa stamps from Cape Town, Japan, Australia, Republik Ostereich, and various other countries, dating from 1983–1985. In very good condition, with expected wear from handling and clipped corners. The two years of travels evidenced in this passport mark the first years of Barnard’s retirement as Head of the Cape Town Cardiothoractic Surgery Department in 1983, after a long struggle with rheumatoid arthritis in his hands. Rather than perform surgeries, he instead acted as the Scientist-in-Residence at the Oklahoma Transplantation Institute, as well as serving many institutions as an acting consultant.
