Art Nouveau
One of my clients wants to create a memorial for their late son.
They want to use the typeface in the photo.
I’ve done some searching, but I have not come across an exact match.
Any clue what typeface this is?

Similar source but heavier and not as condensed.

I think Künstler-Gotisch is a closer Art Nouveau typeface to this lettering (in 'Treasury of Authentic Art Nouveau Alphabets' by Petzendorfer (Dover Books)). This was once digitized as 'Library' in the Expresiv fonts Photo Lettering Font collection. You can contact me if you want to see a sample, as I have the font collection.

Also P22 Morris Troy, which is probably a better version of the William Morris type than Kelmscott.
