I've received a nice postcard of the Old Town - the sentence means that you received a postcard showing the Old Town.

I've received a nice postcard with the Old Town- I don't like this sentence as it is. It's incomplete. Did you receive a postcard and the Old Town?

Or a postcard with the Old Town on it? Probably the latter, so you'd have to add "on it" or something like that for the sentence to make sense.

I've received a nice postcard from the Old Town - the sentence means that someone in the Old Town sent you this postcard.

HotmaleIs it possible to replace a preposition with a word such as "showing"?

Yes, sure.
