You might be asking in a wrong community.
A community of Taiwanese passport holders who speak English might be a better subject to ask the question.
早期護照材質精細、頁數寥寥、效期較短，現行護照則是硬紙材質、厚厚一本、效期長達10年，相較之下，可以想見過去出國機會不若現在普及、頻繁。
Early passports were made of fine materials, had a few pages, and a short validity period.
The current passports are made of thicker paper and cover also has a validity period of up to 10 years. Probably travel abroad in the past was not as popular and easy as it is now
This article shows some history about the passports
Before the latest change, the passport had undergone up to 18 revisions since the ROC government relocated from mainland China to Taiwan in 1949 after the then-Kuomintang-led government was defeated by the communists during a civil war on the mainland.
Since then, there have been two major makeovers to the passport: one in 2003, when the administration of then-President Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) had the English word “Taiwan” printed on the cover of the passport for the first time ever.
The other major makeover happened in 2008 after former President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) took office, who had the passport embedded with a digital chip.
