One the opposite side of things, here are a couple pictures of a reproduction I found. It does appear to be sewn around the edges, but the material does not look like it has been folded over and sewn like the example I posted at the top of the thread. It is also a single stitch, versus the double "chain" stitch on mine.
I could be wrong, but the reproduction also looks like the entire image has been screen printed on the material, including the light "grayish" background color. Hence the reason the border looks so white.
