specifics
De Lachende Cavalier has experience with historical (archive) research, also in combination with entertainment. Good historical research can take a long time, especially if you don't know where to look or where to start. The Laughing Cavalier knows that and can therefore provide correct historical information within a short time. And when your product or project is (at first glance) portrayed or articulated historically correctly, it will be taken more seriously by critics!
