Any idea what this would have been?
1881 census in London

A mistranscription.
Look at the original.
Since it's a continuation of your previuos thread, it would have been better to have tacked on the query there. You can find your topics at any time by looking at https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;sa=topics;u=285570

I have and it does look like style artist to me although I'm not great at deciphering!

Look at the "Lodger" in the lines above.
Does the "l" in "Style" look like the "g" in "Lodger"?
Yes, or no.
If yes, and the long loop belongs to a g, and not a y, What might the occupation be?

Stage artist? What was that, an actor?

I don't know exactly what a Stage artist might be.
But I think that's what it says.

A "stage artist" could be:
1. Someone who paints scenery in theatres (most likely?) or
2. A performer

If you haven’t already done so, it might help to look at his occupation on other censuses. :)
