  A Hubble Space Telescope snapshot survey of the B2 sample of low luminosity
radio galaxies has, at present, produced V and I images of 41 objects. Together
with 16 images of B2 sources taken from the HST archive, there are now high
resolution optical data for 57 % of the sample. All host galaxies are luminous
ellipticals, except one which is a spiral galaxy, while another one turns out
to be a misidentification.
  We present an album of the images of the B2 radio galaxies observed so far,
and give a brief description of the optical morphology of the galaxies. Dust
features (in the form of disks, lanes or irregular patches) are seen in most of
the galaxies of the sample, 58 %. Compact optical cores are also very common
(18/57). A preliminary analysis has revealed the presence of an optical jet in
three objects, indicating they can be detected in a sizeable percentage in
these low luminosity radio sources. Brightness profiles of dust-free galaxies
are well represented by a Nuker law and all shows the existence of a resolved
shallow cusp.
