The Sheridan reflects the spirit of careful observation inherited from Yellowstone, a landscape first encountered by many Americans through the photographs of William Henry Jackson and the luminous paintings of Thomas Moran. Their remarkable images of geysers, waterfalls, and vast canyon walls accompanied the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871, helping persuade Congress to establish Yellowstone as the nation's first national park the following year.

The Sheridan’s refined, round silhouette is distinguished by pronounced relief and beautifully resolved surface transitions. In this shimmering spectacle, the familiarity of a classic American eyeglass meets an unusually animated surface, with every bevel and contour catching the light a little differently from the last. 

In the rare Rover color story, the Sheridan’s deep green finish is reminiscent of the richly saturated chromolithographs that introduced Thomas Moran's Yellowstone to parlors and libraries across the country. Published and collected long before the park became a destination for most Americans, these remarkable prints transformed an unfamiliar wilderness into one of the nation's most enduring landscapes of the imagination.
