Journal de Bruxelles

Journal de Bruxelles was a Belgian newspaper, printed 1841-1926 (with publication suspended under the German occupation of Belgium during World War I). It was one of the leading dailies in late 19th and early 20th-century Brussels, and was aligned with the Catholic interest in public affairs.[1]
