You can search the Life Magazine photo archives through Google images. This isn't a new feature, it's just that this evening was the first time I availed myself of it. For kicks and giggles, I searched for my name. It was pretty disappointing.
It's boatloads of Rachel L. Cook, plenty of Rachel Carson, a smattering of Rachel Hunter, and a surprisingly large number of some female bodybuilder named Rachel McLish.
There are only two I thought were interesting:
Jackie Robinson
Baseball star Jackie Robinson w. his wife Rachel as young son Jackie Jr. drinks a glass of milk, on front steps of their home.

| Date taken: | July 1949 |
I think I just like the specificity of the caption re: Jackie Jr.'s drink.
And then this one is just weird:
Gov. of Michigan G. Mennen Williams's son Gary (L) posing for a picture with Gov. of Alabama James E. Folsom's daughter Rachel (R) during the Govenor's [sic] convention.
| Location: | Atlantic City, GA, US |
|---|---|
| Date taken: | June 1956 |
On a side note, Life's mascot for the 1890s is Queen Victoria. Sometime I'll have to write a post about why I despise her.

I look forward to that post.
That IS a disturbing photo.
