Abstract:
    This is the first paper of a series investigating the scaling
    relations of early-type galaxies in clusters. Here we illustrate the
    multi-band imagery and the image reduction and calibration procedures
    relative to the whole sample of 22 clusters at 0.05<~z<~0.25. We also
    present detailed surface photometry of 312 early-type galaxies in 7
    clusters (A1069, A119, A1983, A2151, A2670, A3125 and DC2103) in the
    first redshift bin, z=0.025-0.075. We give for each galaxy the
    complete set of luminosity and geometrical profiles, and a number of
    global, photometric and morphological parameters. They have been
    evaluated taking into account the effects of seeing. Internal
    consistency checks and comparisons with data in the literature confirm
    the quality of our analysis. These data, together with the
    spectroscopic ones presented in the second paper of the series, will
    provide the local calibration of the scaling relations.
