Three times each month, from June 1912 to August 1914, the exclusive subscribers of this limited edition journal received pochoir prints by George Barbier (1882-1932), Umberto Brunelleschi (1879-1949), Roger Broders (1883-1953), and many others. The cost was 100 francs/year. Altogether 186 plates were issued, before the publication ended with the outbreak of the First World War. Note the watermark on the journal’s own hand-made paper.

Some proofreading for Princeton:

Your first sentence should read "Three times each month" with times plural, not singular.

Also in the following where should be were:
"Altogether 186 plates where issued,"

And in this:
"Note the watermark on their hand-made paper."
Whose hand-made paper? Why not say "the hand-made paper"?
Best,
