Boxy and disky isophotes in elliptical galaxies are an imprint of their formation history. It is thus interesting to examine the boxyness of early-type galaxies as a function of environment in large cluster systems, especially as some N-body simulations also predict a higher number of disky versus boxy ellipticals in overdense regions. Using high-…
