Optical spectroscopy and photometry of the Type Ia supernova SN 1988G obtained shortly after dicovery are presented. The redshift of the parent galaxy is determined to be 7055 km/sec. Adopting a distance of 88 Mpc, the supernova has an absolute magnitude of M(B) = -18.8. Based on the luminosity and the characteristics displayed by the optical spectrum it is inferred that maximum light occurred within a few days of the discovery.
