Britton & Rey reused the Britton & Rey 1094 image (left) for the 1909 Portolá Festival Britton & Rey 9012 (center), transforming day to night and adding fireworks, outline illumination on Cliff House, and foreground revelers. Close examination shows window shades and people on the walkway in identical positions in both, so they clearly start from the same image. Cardinell-Vincent 400 (right) is a later version; many Britton & Rey cards are identical to later Cardinell-Vincent cards.
