Cremorne and the Later London Gardens – Warwick Wroth, 1907:
Herr Von Joel, who appeared in 1848, was ‘ a peculiar old German’ […] who had made a sensation—which became a bore—at Vauxhall Gardens. His business was to appear at unexpected moments and in unsuspected parts of the gardens, to yodel Swiss ditties, and to give imitations, on his walking-stick, of birds and feathered fowl.
