Why is there a wider image beneath my 110 film border?

With 110 film it’s normal to see a transparent film border and a wider image visible beneath. This is because 110 film is pre-exposed in order to make printing easier.

Also, it’s common for the lenses of 110 cameras to have a wide view, therefore resulting in a bit more of the image to appear on the portion of the transparent film border.
