M. De Pasquale, C.J. Saxton (MSSL-UCL) and T. Sakamoto (NASA/UMBC)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 110719A
121 s after the BAT trigger (Sakamoto et al., GCN Circ. 12173).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Pagani et al., GCN 
Circ. 12173) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures and in the 
summed exposures taken in all filters.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) for the first finding chart (FC)
exposure and subsequent exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.04 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
