Does the image need to be shown, given its nature
which is offensive
to many, many people?
Need is an unhelpful term. You don't need to exist the universe is
quite capable of increase entropy without you.
It is widely accepted that if you are going to discuss an artwork such
as a photo or painting you show the audience the photo or painting. So
it would appear that by the norms of presenting this kind of
information the image should be shown.
Again the Blind Faith album cover features in Dorling Kindersley's
(who have published an encyclopedia or too in their time) 100 Best
Album Covers: The Stories Behind the Sleeves
