Pillars of Creation

[GDS]

I’m trying to find indication (shareable evidence) of when the first telescopic photo of the Pillars Of Creation was produced.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Well i believe Hubbles iconic image taken in 1995 was the first to capture the Pillars of creation in any detail. There were undoubtedly images of the Eagle Nebula before that but the Pillars of Creation were not a target of any specific significance until Hubbles image.
