The analysis of the photoelectric (1967 - 1984, ≡420 UBV measurements) and photographic (1906 - 1982, ≡560 measurements) observations of the nucleus of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 is carried out. All observations are reduced to a uniform photometric system. The multi-component structure of the light curve is emphasized: there are variabilities with timescales from tens of days to tens of years. All components except the slowest (≡80 years) ones are quasi-periodic, or cyclic. The period search analysis does not show any periodicities from 35 days to 20 years, both for photoelectric (≡18 years) and photographic (≡80 years) observations. Only the first half of the photoelectric set shows the 130-day periodicity (25 cycles). The amplitude of the fast component (the flux) is proportional to that of the slow component.
