A.J. Wauters

Alphonse-Jules Wauters (1845–1916) was a Belgian art historian, geographer, and magazine editor. Wauters was born in Brussels, Belgium, on 13 June 1845. In 1887 he became a professor of Art History at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels and in 1894 a member of the Royal Academies for Science and the Arts of Belgium. His passion, however, was geography. He became Secretary of the Brussels Geographical Society, and founded and edited two geographical journals, Le Mouvement Géographique (1884–1922) and the shorter-lived Le Congo illustré (1891–1895), which supported projects for colonization in Central Africa. Wauters died in Ixelles, Belgium, on 25 March 1916. - from Wikipedia
