Brussels, Belgium, April 20, 1958: Visitors to the 1958 World's Fair take in the sights from a horse-drawn wagon during the first week of the exhibition, which featured more than 150 pavilions from 52 countries. Caught behind them is a VW bus, looming above is Olivier Strebelle's scrap-metal sculpture, "The Bayard Horse," and in the background is the Bell Telephone pavilion.
