Many years ago all editing, proofreading, design, and illustration was done in-house. But even in the days before computers, 95%+ of publishers farmed out the production of the book to typesetters/compositors and to printers. It was very rare for a publisher to produce a book 100% in-house; few publishers had the facilities to do so and I don't know of any today who have that capability, although there may be some.
