With the painter Théodore Fourmois he executed in 1839 an album depicting the abbey ruins at Villers-la-Ville. He illustrated several successful books including Les Environs de Brussels (12 lithographs; Brussels) and La Légende de Thyl Uilenspiegel (woodcuts; Brussels, 1868) by Charles de Coster. Lauters was appointed professor of engraving in 1836 at the newly formed Ecole Royale de Gravure (which became part of the Académie in 1848). Lauters made his début as a painter at the Salon of 1841 in Kortrijk and regularly exhibited picturesque Belgian landscapes at the Brussels Salon. These are generally small in size and depict woodland scenes or river banks. He also executed some portraits, townscapes and genre scenes, and painted on porcelain, but he is principally known for his prints and illustrations. He was in addition drawing-master to members of the Belgian royal family....
