I'm not sure what they are getting at there. There are beautiful illustrated haggadahs (Passover prayer books, which certainly contain the divine name) dating back to the early middle ages. The British library (the linked site) owns several examples, including the Golden Haggadah: http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?ref=add_ms_27210_f0...

I grew up as an Orthodox Jew and virtually all of the stories of the bible are heavily illustrated in many forms, both recently and in ancient times.

The fact that the Megilla doesn't contain the name of God is an interesting phenomenon and the source of a lot of commentary, but not for this reason.
