Forty of the slide titles match those in the Primus set David Livingstone: his life and journeys (Lucerna 3000159). This could indicate that the Primus set was made from the Newton set, or equally that both were made from the same original image source, probably an illustrated book.
The Riley and Butcher catalogues use the title Life of Livingstone.
