The Berlin Conference of 1954 was a meeting of the "Big Four" foreign ministers of the United States (John Foster Dulles), Britain (Anthony Eden), France (Georges Bidault), and the Soviet Union (Vyacheslav Molotov) from 25 January to 18 February 1954.
The Berlin Conference was referred to as the Four Power Conference in Punch's number of January 27, 1954. A pas de quatre is a ballet choreographed for four dancers, but in the case of Ronald Searle's satirical drawing for that issue of Punch, it is intended for four nations. The original art, estimated at 800 to 1,200 GBP, sold for 1,700 GBP last month at auction. The Cold War conference it references went on to have only limited success, it having failed to resolve longstanding issues of the First Indochina War, the Korean War, and the postwar occupation of Germany.
