[Mediawiki-api] Retrieving image URLs?

When I retrieve this page:

http://wiki.lspace.org/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Image:Cover_The_Last_Hero.jpg&rvprop=timestamp|content&format=xml

I get this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><api><query><normalized><n
from="Image:Cover_The_Last_Hero.jpg" to="Image:Cover The Last
Hero.jpg" /></normalized><pages><page pageid="4963" ns="6"
title="Image:Cover The Last
Hero.jpg"><revisions><revtimestamp="2008-01-20T13:54:58Z">Illustrated
by Paul Kidby

In other words, even though I requested the 'content' of the page, I
don't get the URL to the image itself.

By visiting the page normally:

http://wiki.lspace.org/wiki/Image:Cover_The_Last_Hero.jpg

I learned that the image URL is
"http://wiki.lspace.org/uploads/4/4e/Cover_The_Last_Hero.jpg".

Is there any way to obtain that URL using the Mediawiki API?
