[ POELLNITZ, C.L. baron de].- Amusemens des eaux de Spa. Ouvrage utile à ceux qui vont boire ces eaux minérales sur les lieux. Enrichi de tailles douces qui représente les vües et les perspectives du bourg de Spa, des fontaines, des promenades et des environs. Nouvelle édition. Amsterdam, Pierre Mortier, 1752. 4 vol. in-12° : front., titre gravé-viii-[4]-335, titre gr.-328, titre gr.-356, titre gr.-303 pp. (marge g. du front. part. rognée avec pli, pet. manque de papier au coin I-[4], qqs taches). Rel. de l'époque : plein veau, dos fleuronnés dorés à nerfs et étiq. de cuir rouge, tr. rouges (qqs coiffes abs., coins et coupes émoussés, lég. us. générale). Sous étui moderne commun.
Illustré de 20 gravures : front. dépliant, 4 titres et 15 planches dépliantes de vues des sources ainsi que du très peu ragoûtant "insecte sorti des reins d'une dame par l'effet des eaux de Pouhon, représenté dans sa grandeur naturelle". Généralement attribué à Poellnitz, l'ouvrage fut régulièrement réédité et augmenté par la suite car il constitue une des plus importantes sources sur Spa et ses moeurs au XVIIIe s. Les titres portent l'adresse de Paris sous celle d'Amsterdam mais la date, et parfois la mention, en ont été coupées (manque doublé au verso). L'originale parut en 1734 et connut plusieurs rééditions.
