We present a near-infrared K_n-band photometric study of edge-on galaxies with a box/peanut-shaped `bulge'. The morphology of the galaxies is analysed using unsharp masking and fits to the vertical surface brightness profiles, and the results are compared to N-body simulations and orbital calculations of barred galaxies. Both theoretical approaches reproduce the main structures observed.
