Abstract
We have obtained upsilon, g, r and i CCD surface photometry for a samp le of 109 early-type galaxies. Many of the galaxies covered have no pr eviously published CCD or aperture photometry. Our surface brightness profiles typically extend down to a surface brightness of mu(r) simila r to 24 mag/arcsec(2). Detailed comparisons with previously published work, and internal and external error estimates for ah quantities are provided. The complete surface photometry data set is made available i n a computer-readable form.
