Photometric observations of 38 objects in the vicinity of the open cluster NGC 1252 obtained in the UBVRI passbands using a 15.5-arcsec diaphragm and an RCA 31034A photoelectric tube on the 50-cm and 1-m telescopes at ESO in November, 1982, are reported. A visual identification chart and color-color and color-magnitude diagrams are shown, and the photometric data are presented in a table. Fourteen objects, including the N-type semiregular variable TW Hor (HD 20234), are found to belong to the cluster, which has approximate age = 5 x 10 to the 8th years, distance = 470 pc, and diameter (for the 14 objects) = 8 pc. The bolometric magnitude of TW Hor is estimated as -5.32 arcmin, suggesting that it belongs to the young population of the disk.
