Oh, NOOooooo........! The Age Of The Deckle Edge is about to descend
upon us AGAIN!!! (The return of The Age Of The Hand-Tinted Photos
wasn't bad enough, huh?). But, uh, seriously, though, I seem to
remember that there was a special Deckle edging machine (like a paper
cutter) that did the dastardly deed (though pre-Deckled paper may also
have been available). Could well be wrong on all this (including the spelling), though......
Hope this helps.
