The Herbig Be star HD 200775, associated with the extended reflection nebulae NGC 7023, has been observed in the ultraviolet with the IUE satellite, in the optical with the 90-cm Schmidt telescope of Campo Imperatore Observatory, and in the infrared with the 2.3 m telescope of Wyoming University in a coordinated campaign made during August 1978. The ultraviolet low-dispersion spectrum shows several strong absorption resonance lines (C II, C IV, Si II, Si IV, Al III . . .) probably formed in an expanding envelope. From the IR observations up to 12.6 microns, a value of the mass loss rate expansion velocity ratio of 2.3 x 10 to the -9th solar masses/year per km/sec is derived. The infrared energy distribution shows also the presence of a dust shell at a mean distance of about 3 x 10 to the 14th cm from the central star. A value of the color excess of 0.25 + or - 0.05 is derived from the 2200-A interstellar band and from the gradient of the UV continuum.
