  We present near-infrared imaging of a sample of 57 relatively large, Northern
spiral galaxies with low inclination. After describing the selection criteria
and some of the basic properties of the sample, we give a detailed description
of the data collection and reduction procedures. The K_s lambda=2.2 micron
images cover most of the disk for all galaxies, with a field of view of at
least 4.2 arcmin. The spatial resolution is better than an arcsec for most
images. We fit bulge and exponential disk components to radial profiles of the
light distribution. We then derive the basic parameters of these components, as
well as the bulge/disk ratio, and explore correlations of these parameters with
several galaxy parameters.
