A family stops to ask directions at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair. The original art to this vintage George Price New Yorker cartoon was sold at Illustration House back in 2004. The iconic observation towers to the New York State Pavilion are visible in the background, the tallest structures. These towers still stand today, although their external elevators are long gone and the Pavilion is overall in a dilapidated state. Price's family, it is to be hoped, found their way to their destination long ago.
Note: According to Wikipedia, the New York State Pavilion at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair was designed by architects Philip Johnson and Richard Foster with structural engineer Lev Zetlin.
