“In this artists view, the Hubble Space Telescope is seen as it might appear in Earth orbit at an altitude of over 300 miles. The telescope aperature door is open allowing the interior of the mirror truss with the various baffles to be seen. The twin solar panels are shown extended on either side of the telescope and the two high-gain TDR tracking and data communication antennas are shown extended as they will be for operations. The Hubble Space Telescope is one of a family of NASA astronomical instruments which will cover a full range of observations from infrared through gamma-rays.”
Another beautiful work by LM&SC artist Joe Boyer, and per his signature, from 1986. Unfortunately, I still haven’t found anything on him. Ugh.
The only place I found the image. Apparently used as the cover of a book:

Note the name hand-annotated on the verso. Apparently(?) the photograph was intended/destined for, or property of Dr. David Whitehouse, who was the BBC's science correspondent from 1988 until 2006, and is a former science editor at the BBC News website. Quite impressive:
