This is from a book on Alfons Mucha and the decorative panels he produced for Champenois.
"1896 erscheint die erste Reihe der Panneaux décoratifs, die Vier Jahreszeiten. Einschließlich aller Varianten werden im Laufe der Zeit fast fünfzig dieser Bild folgen entstehen, von denen die Vier Blumen, die Vier Künste, die Vier Edelsteine, die Vier Tageszeiten und die Vier Sterne zu Muchas populärsten Entwürfen bis heute gehören.
Diese Panneaux sind ** Bildbögen **, schmal und hochformatig, die teils in günstigen, teils in hoch wertigen und nach dem neusten Stand der Technik gedruckten Ausgaben verkauft werden."
I've found the terms "picture sheets" and "pictorial broadsheets" but don't know if either is correct, or if there's another word I should be using instead.
Thanks,
Rachel

Commissions poured in. By 1898, he had moved to a new studio, illustrated Ilsee, Princess de Tripoli (see image at left), had his first one-man show and had begun publishing graphics with Champenois, a new printer anxious to promote his work with postcards and panneaux - sets of four large images around a central theme (four seasons, four times of day, four flowers, etc. - see below for Stars). Most of these sets were created for the collector market and printed on silk

In 1896, Mucha designed his first panneaux decoratifs: The Seasons (1896). Panneaux decoratifs were limited-edition large-size prints executed on silk or stiff papers, often ornately framed, hung on walls or screens. Usually, these featured highly stylized nature scenes, inspired by the silk screen paintings of the Orient. Mucha would produce several series of these, including: Flowers (1898), the Arts (1898), the Months (1899), Gemstones (1900) and Stars (1901).

Obviously you cannot repeat 'panneaux' though that would appear to be the technical term for these images.
