André Sima was a Hungarian photographer who settled in Canada in the late 1950s. From 1957 to 1980, Sima worked as a commercial photographer in Montreal. This photograph was taken on May 17, 1963, and depicts a site of a successful bomb diffusing, after the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) placed 10 bombs in 10 residential mailboxes in the Westmount district of Montréal. This work portrays an important moment in Canadian history.
