Edge of film showing in print. How?

Hi all,

 

Following are links to pictures that I believe are shot on the large format.

Can anyone explain how one gets those edges in the print? Is it a film specific

technique?

 

Thank you,

Its Polaroid!

It looks like these pictures were shot with the Polaroid 55 positive/negative film. The negative is rinsed and taken care off, and the negative has been scanned, or printed and scanned the print.

Yes, Polaroid Type 55. Get it while you can, Polaroid has discontinued it.

With type 55, showing the edges is popular. It can be contact printed, or the enlarger film carrier enlarged to show areas that are normally cropped out or (in the case of type 55) cut off.

I think those photos are LF, but more often than not nowadays the "Polaroid edges" are added digitally (in Photoshop). Here, for example, from the Adobe site:
