Description
English: This bridge connected the grounds of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana with the nearby town of Terre Haute, Indiana. "Mother Theodore" refers to Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, the Congregation's founder who arrived in Indiana in 1840, and "Sr. St. Francis" refers to Sister St. Francis Xavier (Irma Lefer de la Motte), her close friend. The two were involved in an accident on this bridge but were not killed.

This sketch is part of a bound book collecting various sketches of Saint Mary's grounds, home of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, and of the academy that later became Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Drawings are dated between 1842 and 1889 and are mainly by Sister Maurice Schnell, with some collected from Sister St. Francis Xavier Lefer, Father John Corbe and various art students. Annotations have been added by Schnell and other sisters over the years, as this book served as an account of the buildings on the grounds.

Artwork has been edited to increase contrast for clarity.
