NGC 4488 is an unusual small galaxy in the Virgo cluster which may be a face-on barred S0 galaxy with weak spiral arms or an edge-on disk galaxy with significant warping, or may even be a marger product with tidal filaments. We report on a photometric and spectroscopic study of this galaxy using the 2-1m telescope at San Pedro Martir, Baja California, Mexico, including colour maps and profiles, residual images, stellar population analysis and major axis velocity profile, and form conclusions on the nature of this galaxy.
