I've done something similar for caching images in a RAM Cache and
accessing them through a url. I simply added a page / BrowserView.

see:
http://svn.nuxeo.org/trac/pub/file/z3lab/cpsskins/branches/jmo-perspectives/browser/caching.py

If you remove the RAM cache part, your code could look like this (not
tested ....):

__init__.py:

from zope.app.file.browser.image import ImageData
from zope.app.file.image import Image
from zope.app.publisher.browser import BrowserView

class ImageView(BrowserView):
    """A view for accessing images.
    """

    def show(self)
        viewer = ImageData()
        viewer.context = Image(context.data)
        viewer.request = self.request
        return viewer()


configure.zcml :

  <pages
      for="zope.app.file.interfaces.IImage"
      class=".ImageView"
      permission="zope.Public">

    <page
        name="show"
        attribute="show"
    />

  </pages>


then access your image with http://path_to_object/image_file/show
