PostScript was a big deal, back in the day when desktop/workstation 
machines had more primitive graphics stacks. EPS was a way of embedding 
such graphics in a form that they could be sent to a printer that 
understood PostScript, from a machine which did not.

Think of PDF as being the PostScript graphics model without the actual 
PostScript programming language.
