Description
Detailed photographic mappings are presented for 33 early-type E and S0
galaxies in the Virgo cluster which are brighter than 14 mag. The
mappings are based on B-band CCD and large-field photographic material.
Attention is given to the geometrical characteristics of the isophotes
in order to establish whether a faint disk is present, and the
contribution of the bulge in isolation is separated from the
contribution of the entire galaxy. Comparisons are made with the results
of previous studies.
