Exhibition Label: "Qiu Anxiong: New Book of Mountains and Seas," Feb-2010, Kris Ercums Inscription: There is a beast on the American continent with a turning head and an empty belly. Its back is like glass and its eyes are as large as lamps. Its feet turn as fast as wheels. It does not eat, but drinks oil instead. It runs one thousand li [miles] in a single day and is faster than the strongest horses, and can be ridden by common folk. It is called the Auto, or qiche [car].
