The interacting galaxy pair IC 5174/75 has drawn attention, due to an angular size for IC 5174 that is disproportionate to its brightness. A preliminary investigation of this peculiar system is given, based on two ESO Schmidt plates and digital spectra of the two galaxies. At a redshift of 0.036, the system measures about 320 kpc, and the two long outer arms of IC 5174 measure approximately 300 kpc. It is suggested that the present morphology of the system is the result of a recent encounter, and may be qualitatively similar to the M51+NGC 5195 system when viewed edge-on despite differences of absolute size.
