The 'large model" was the other design supplied by Wallace. 66 of them still exist in Paris.

Sir Richard Wallace, 1st Baronet (21 June 1818 -20 July 1890) was an English art collector, the patron of the Wallace Collection in England. Wallace achieved fame during the Siege of Paris (uprising of the Commune) for notable acts of charity. In 1872 he donated an initial 50 drinking fountains, known as Wallace fountains, to the City of Paris and to Lisburn. About 78 can still be seen today and are in use. Wallace provided initial designs for two types of fountains to Lebourg. In all four types were produced.
