In his journal, Maximilian alluded to Bodmer's fascination with the subject of Vignette VII. En route to St.Louis, Missouri, Bodmer, Prince Maximilian and Dreidoppel traveled via the Ohio river. About twenty-five miles beyond Shawnee Town, Bodmer sketched this intriguing geological rock formation known as Cave-In-Rock on the Illinois side of the river near Cave-In-Rock Island, which is today part of a National Park. Keelboats and ships transporting goods passing by this historic point were often attacked by pirates waiting to rob their cargo.
