dc.description.abstract	We present the broad band surface photometry of the radio galaxy 3C 270 (NGC 4261). We find a distinct dust lane in the V - R image of the galaxy and determine its oriantation and size. We use the major axis profile of the galaxy to estimate the optical depth of the dust lane, and discuss the significance of the lane to the shape of the galaxy.	en
