  We present in this paper multicolor surface and aperture photometry in the B,
V, R and K' bands for a sample of 34 lenticular galaxies from the UGC
catalogue. From surface photometric analysis, we obtain radial profiles of
surface brightness, colors, ellipticity, position angle and the Fourier
coefficients which describe the departure of isophotal shapes from purely
elliptical form and find the presence of dust lanes, patches and ring like
structure in several galaxies in the sample. We obtain total integrated
magnitudes and colors and find that these are in good agreement with the values
from the RC3 catalogue. Isophotal colors are correlated with each other,
following the sequence expected for early-type galaxies. The color gradients in
lenticulars are more negative than the corresponding gradients in ellipticals.
There is a good correlation between B-V and B-R color gradients, and the mean
gradient in the B-V, B-R and V-K' colors are -0.13+/-0.06, -0.18+/-0.06,
-0.25+/-0.11 magnitude per dex in radius respectively.
