The San Diego Museum of Art has reprinted this 1989 book and I just bought one (35$).
Just thought I'd pass on the link in case anyone else is interested

Dear Linda,
I have that 1989 book (since 1989), and I love it for inspiration.
Plate #25 in this book is of a painting at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is very unfortunately not on view, but in apparent permanent storage! This is an outrage! I came upon this painting in dim fluorescent lighting on sub level C of the museum last June quite by chance, and I have not been able to get it's beauty and power out of my mind since. I was told by the registrar staff that this painting, "Ninos a la orilla del mar" (Children on theSea-shore), 1903, would forever be in storage!
I wonder if the wonderful book Tony and Stanka have contains a better reproduction representation of this great painting?
Anyway, below are two miserable scan details of that painting from plate #25 (edited here due to innocent child nudity content).
Thanks for this Sorolla book thread and links.
