They did provide the link.
The image is apparently from a period predating the time when the current consensus that disallows depiction of the Prophet originated. Back then it was ok; now it isn’t. Were The Guardian to print the image, it could be construed by some interested party (of various possible affiliations) as a willful act intended to cause offense.
For precedent predating our current excessively charged social environment, the film The Message (1976), starring Anthony Quinn, does not show his person at all.
