Title
Bridge between Father Corbe's and Providence
Description
English: This bridge on the grounds of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana connected the home of Father John Corbe, chaplain for many years, and "Providence," which is the name the Sisters gave their convent homes.

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.
