If one clicks on the image it becomes a thing of the past page not found. But if you click on his name it is still present.
I made deckle postcards of one scene at the request of one of a customer. I kept all the other with straight edges. On one order i had two postcard scenes printed including the deckle edge one.. The printer made a capitulation mistake on the gold text on the image side of non deckle postcard so I had them reprint it. The printer reprinted the whole order so I got an extra set of the deckled postcards. I still have more than 1500 deckled postcard sitting on a closet shelf. At some point in time after I shut down the postcard business the USPS changed the requirements for postcards to straight edges only. So for efficient workings of the postal machines the physical deckle edge is gone.

I notice that one of the prints shown in Stephen's vintage photographs (at https://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery-vintage.html) was one with a deckle edge. Has the deckle edge become a thing of the past? If so why do you think that is the case? Or, if available, does it add cost to prints?
