The possible existence of two dark matter free galaxies (NGC1052-DF2 andNGC1052-DF4) in the field of the early-type galaxy NGC1052 presents a challengeto theories of dwarf galaxy formation according to the current cosmologicalparadigm. We carried out a search for signatures of past interactions connectedto the putative hosts of NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4 using a very deep L-bandimage obtained with the 0.7m Jeanne Rich telescope that reach a surfacebrightness limit of 28.5 mag arcsec-2 in the r band. We found severallow-surface brightness features, possibly consistent with an ongoing mergerhistory in this group. We find a tidal interaction between NGC1052 and NGC1047,confirming a physical association. Furthermore we find a stellar loop aroundNGC1052 in the direction of NGC1042 and a stellar stream pointing in thedirection of NGC1052-DF2 - but both are not directly connected. We find noevidence for a recent tidal interaction for NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4. No lowsurface brightness features have been uncovered around the spiral galaxyNGC1042, which leaves the association (physical or projected) between NGC1052and NGC1042 ambiguous, though they have similar radial velocities. Theirassociation will only be established once accurate distances to both objectshave been measured.
