The photographic magnitudes m/sub pg/, m/sub pv/, m/sub pr/ of the fuor V 1057 Cyg obtained during the period July 1968-August 1970 and photoelectric UBVRI' observations during the period July 1078-December 1985 are given. At the time of the rise and the light maximum of V 1057 Cyg, 26 estimates were obtained of m/sub pg/, 20 of m/sub pv/, and three of m/sub pr/. The color index upper limit V - I < 3.5 was obtained in the pre-outburst epoch. Analysis of the B, V, R light curves obtained from 300 observation nights reveals a periodic component in the small-scale light curve with a period of about 12 days and an amplitude of about 0.1 V. There has been a further slowing down in the rate of decrease of the brightness: from 1982 through 1986 the brightness of V 1057 Cyg did not decrease by more than O.2 V, whereas during the preceding four years the decrease in the brightness was ..delta..V > 0.4.
